Yeah, of course. Don't mix up with the argument about Kconfig
dependency issues. I just reacted against your statement that input
pcspkr driver will be obsoleted.

I actually removed the dependency from snd-pcsp Kconfig again since
this causes a dependency loop (at least, kbuild can't handle
properly).
But anyway, as mentioned in my previous post, snd-pcsp wouldn't be
enabled on most of distros' kernels because it cannot be built
together with input-pcspkr driver, unfortunately...
