ALSA in 2.6 -- no snd-au8830?

$SUBJECT. The driver seems to be present in alsa-driver but not the
in-kernel version. Is it very new? Does it need to be converted? Is it 
deprecated in 2.6 in favor of a better driver? May I help out?

I've just recently found an Aureal Vortex 2 gathering dust and I'm
hoping to get around my onboard sound problem with it for the time
being.

For those on alsa-user replying, either reply back to linux-kernel or
me. 

Thanks,

Let me eat my words. Here is what I did to get it working (at least for
au8830):

1. Check out alsa-driver from CVS.
2. cp -r alsa-driver/pci/au88x0 /usr/src/linux/sound/pci
3. edit Kconfig to add SND_AU8830 entry
4. edit Makefile to add au88x0/ subdir for obj-$(CONFIG_SND)
5. edit au88x0/Makefile to remove 2.4 build cruft

And it works! :) I can submit a diff if desired.

Actually, we are doing some cleanups in the code for 2.6. Then it will be 
propagated to our 2.6 BK patches.

you can build alsa-driver tree externally for 2.6 kernels, too.
just run configure, make and make install as usual.
