It's not needed. It's also not needed when building sound drivers as
modules. AFAIK, ALSA_CARDS serves no purpose anymore, since it was used
to control the drivers that were built by the alsa-driver ebuild. The
alsa-driver package has been removed from portage.
You can simply delete ALSA_CARDS from make.conf.
