I've upated this patch to change multichannel configuration from kernel
options to tunables (aka loader hints).
It will allow different configuration for different cards (like emu10kx0
will be single-channel and emu10kx1 will
be multichannel) for people who use more than one card.

It also add locking in PCM interupt handler.
