I thought about both of these, but the impact of adding an owner
parameter to sound_install_mixer() was too great, and the
ad1848_mixer_operations structure was declared static rather than
extern in ad1848.c. (Probably rightly so, too). Fortunately, I found
alternative inspiration in mpu401.c.
It might be "interesting" to redeclare all the static struct
mixer_operations as "const", along with the argument in
sound_install_mixer(), and see exactly how many sound modules scream
in pain. Maybe too interesting for 2.4.1... :-) ?
