Oops, someone introduced a bug in drivers/sound/Config.in in 2.1.78:

- bool 'Gallant Audio Cards (SC-6000 and SC-6600 based)' CONFIG_AEDSP16
+ dep_tristate 'Gallant Audio Cards (SC-6000 and SC-6600 based)' CONFIG_AEDSP16
+

I feel embarrassed that I didn't catch it when I read the pre-patch.

Fix: add $CONFIG_SOUND:

dep_tristate 'Gallant Audio Cards (SC-6000 and SC-6600 based)' CONFIG_AEDSP16 $CONFIG_SOUND

It's also pretty crappy of tkparse to generate a bad tk script.
(I am developing a new tkparse based on a yacc grammar and it's
much better at catching config file syntax errors).
