duplicated the required alsa-kernel header files into the local
include/sound directory, so that alsa-lib can be compiled without alsa-driver. with this addition, --with-kernel and --with-soundbase options are removed from configure. they are obviously unnecessary. the relevant parts in INSTALL are removed/modified.

-Installation using a build-in version of ALSA in Linux kernel
--------------------------------------------------------------
-
-If you use a kernel build-in version of ALSA, use:
-
- ./configure --with-kernel=<version>
- make install
-
-The directory /lib/modules/<version>/build/include/sound must exists for
-this kind of configuration.
-
-You may also specify the full-base for ALSA kernel headers:
-
- ./configure --with-soundbase=<path_to_linux_include_dir>
- make install
-
-example:
-
- ./configure --with-soundbase=/usr/src/linux-2.5.5/include
- make install
