The "maintainer" is listed as Creative.  They have not updated anything
in a year (in the kernel tree; their CVS tree gets frequent updates).
There was a thread a month or so ago where the emu10k1 was mentioned and
the reply was "get the updated driver" -- I asked why the kernel driver
was so old and I was told a patch was floating around but it had not
been merged.  I have never seen this patch, so I replied I would do it
myself.

It took awhile but here it is.

I don't think there is a reason as in "its beta code" or "it needs to
remain a module for licensing reasons" -- its solid (admittedly better
than what is in there now, has more features, and is GLPed).

With the exception of the two modifications listed, its right from the
Creative CVS tree.  It compiles.  It works for me.
