emu10k1.o and 2.4.8 don't compile

[Joe]

I have a SB LIve sound card and now I cannot compile the emu10k soudn
driver to run it in 2.2.8.

Apparantly someone defined MODULE_AUTHOR, MODULE_DESCRIPTION,
init_module and cleanup_module in both the main.c and joystick.c files
not sure what else is defined twice either.

I think I can just comment out one definition / function but not sure
which one.  Does anyone know or has anyone seen this yet?

I patch a 2.4.7 kernel with the patch from ftp.kernel.org.

Joe (cc me I am not on the list)
