I think so, but I also think we should decide what to do with emu10kx (if
anything) as I suspect it will remain GPL polluted.

The emu10k1 and emu10kx drivers essentially support the same hardware, with
a few exceptions (if memory serves me right -- I think there are a few cards
that emu10kx does not support, someone should check with Yuriy). However,
emu10kx has a few nice features like optional multichannel and MIDI I/O
support...
