I had a similar problem applying the mandrake kernel source with the low
latency patch.
The source kernel shipped is very different from the standard one.
I think that Suse, Mandrake and probably others distro makers add a lot of
"enhancements" to offer to consumers the support for most recent hardwares.
The result is that it is hard or impossible to apply any patch for standard
kernel on it.
You should select "sound card support" -> "yes" and that's all.
You can still compile some drivers as modules if you wont, it won't hurt.
For libsndlib.so i don't know, may be a file from the libs of Paul Barton
David ?
