My personal preference would have been an ioctl() to loadthe DSP code.
The driver would then set up everything as usual, but have a flag which
indicates if the DSP code is present.
It might still be a good idea to have the whole driver as an LKM, but I'd
prefer no to require the LKM option to get the sound driver running.
