True. Yet another option would be just move this file back from
include/uapi/sound to include/sound. Basically no user-space programs
care about this file, as they have already a copy of old header fils
in the package.

But maybe defining __EMU10K1_DECLARE_BITMAP() would be the easiest
solution, I suppose.
