Sure, we need to decide what happens when both drivers are present.
Also, how does one choose to which audio adapter is spkr_synth attached ?

And where to document how to disable this anyoing feature ;-)

Which feature?

The behavior with both drivers built-in doesn't really affect anyone, since the default kernels for i386 and amd64 contain only the "old" spkr driver; spkr_synth is commented out, and needs to be explicitly enabled in the kernel configuration. A simple comment in the GENERIC file can take care of the "pick one or the other" requirement.

Also, that comment could easily be expanded to "if you select the spkr_synth driver, make sure you select the correct audio? device as parent".

For those architectures on which spkr_synth is enabled by default (most others), the device is explicitly attached at audio0.
