Hi Mauro,

I tried it, it works, but I like it less than the current approach.
Being able to select "Philips SAA7134 DMA audio support" as a module
while it doesn't correspond to real code is a bit confusing. Not being
able to unselect it completely is confusing as well. Thinks go even
worse when only ALSA or OSS has been selected in the general sound
menu, as you end up with a complex layout for no reason.

So I believe that "choice" is an interesting Kconfig feature when used
with boolean options, but with modules I am not convinced, especially
when these modules have different dependencies.

So if I were to decide, I would stick to the current code. But I am
obviously not the one to decide here.

Thanks,
