Ask for LGPL. A kernel module will, by definition, meet the relink clause for the LGPL. Otherwise it will be impossible to distribute binaraies (the default sound code should operate without needing to recompile the kernel, IMO, so binaries are an absolute necessity -- GPL restrictions on distributed binaries preclude distributing binaraies that are not wholly GPL).
