Hi.
I think the ALSA pci devices must select the GAMEPORT option
automatically instead of depends on GAMEPORT.
The GAMEPORT is a feature of the device, is not a requisite.

This patch makes GAMEPORT required, while actually it's only required
to not be a module if the sound driver is builtin. See my earlier mail
on the subject for the details:

A better fix would be to revert the change in sound/pci/Kconfig from
CONFIG_SOUND_GAMEPORT to CONFIG_GAMEPORT back to
CONFIG_SOUND_GAMEPORT, or just drop this dependency for ALSA and let
the #ifdefs in the code take care of it. Forcing the gameport to be
compiled in when it's not necessary is bloat, IMHO.
