It's the driver for NVIDIA nForce motherboard sound card. It's OSS-only, it's
badly broken (hardlocks machines and so on), lacks someone who can maintain
it (missing hardware mostly) and there are bugs open for it.
If nobody steps up, I'm going to remove it a month from now.

Nice to see the back of this one.
For those that don't know, this hardware is supported through the
in-kernel snd-intel8x0 ALSA driver.
