Couldn't this end up on MicroBlaze too?  If so, sound/ppc is the wrong place.

This line is only needed if you're compiling multiple .c files into one .ko

This patch is targeted for mainline inclusion (which gives you the
kernel version number).  Do you really want to maintain a separate
version number that needs to be update manually?  I'd drop the
MODULE_VERSION line.

<snip>

I'm not an ALSA expert, so I didn't review the rest of the code in
detail (but I didn't see anything to comment on with a quick review).
I'll try adding your patches to my tree this afternoon.
