Line 61 of sound_firmware.c:
EXPORT_SYMBOL(mod_firmware_load);

>From include/linux/module.h, line 252:
#define EXPORT_SYMBOL(var) error EXPORT_SYMTAB_not_defined

For now I'd suggest placing conditionals around that line, like this:
#if defined(EXPORT_SYMTAB) && defined(CONFIG_MODULES)
EXPORT_SYMBOL(mod_firmware_load);
#endif

Seems to work for me, but I don't load the driver as a module,
so someone who does should probably test this and post the results.
