[PATCH] update OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER schedule and dependencies

Browse Source 
Update the schedule for the removal of drivers depending on
OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER as follows:

- adjust OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER dependencie
- from the release of 2.6.16 till the release of 2.6.17:
  approx. two months for users to report problems with the ALSA
  drivers for the same hardware
- after the release of 2.6.17 (and before 2.6.18):
  remove the subset of drivers marked at OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER without
  known regressions in the ALSA drivers for the same hardware

Additionally, correct some OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER dependencies.
A rationale of the changes is in
  http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/28/135

This option enables support for obsolete OSS drivers that
are scheduled for removal in the near future since there
are ALSA drivers for the same hardware.

Answer Y if your card has a Mozart (OAK OTI-601) or MAD16 (OPTi
82C928 or 82C929 or 82C931) audio interface chip. These chips are
quite common so it's possible that many no-name cards have one of
them. In addition the MAD16 chip is used in some cards made by known
manufacturers such as Turtle Beach (Tropez), Reveal (some models)
and Diamond (latest ones). Note however that the Tropez sound cards
have their own driver; if you have one of those, say N here and Y or
M to "Full support for Turtle Beach WaveFront", below.
