Christoph has an interesting point. Networking is

	net/[protocol]/
	drivers/net/[driver]

so by that logic we'd have

	sound/soundcore.c
	sound/alsa/alsalibcode
	sound/oss/osscore

	sound/drivers/cardfoo.c

which would also be much cleaner since the supporting crap would be seperate
from the card drivers
