OK. But i think it would be nice to have one single pci/au88x0 directory,
since that way its easier to share code between them and the driver doesn't
spread to much along the ALSA tree. What do think about ? Some few
Makefile directives could take care of building the required 
snd-au88{10,20,30}
driver.
