snd-pcsp: adjust help texts to frighten users
Added the warning text to the help of snd-pcsp about the possible problem with this driver so that user can know of the problem in advance. Also, removed the obsoleted text about ancient pc-speaker patch in CONFIG_SOUND help. Signed-off-by: Stas Sergeev <stsp@aknet.ru> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

31 I'm told that even without a sound card, you can make your computer
32 say more than an occasional beep, by programming the PC speaker.
33 Kernel patches and supporting utilities to do that are in the pcsp
34 package, available at <ftp://ftp.infradead.org/pub/pcsp/>.

21 WARNING: if you already have a soundcard, enabling this
22 driver may lead to a problem. Namely, it may get loaded
23 before the other sound driver of yours, making the
24 pc-speaker a default sound device. Which is likely not
25 what you want. To make this driver play nicely with other
26 sound driver, you can add this into your /etc/modprobe.conf:
