I think the alsa driver layout should probably be something like

pci/au88x0/*

with au8810.h au8820.h and au8830.h for the chipset specific registers

I think we should move from vortex to au88x0. Using chipset names
instead of marketing terms seems to be the trend with alsa. (emu10k1
instead of sb live, etc.)
