That's how I solved it.

The sound drivers have to include it anyway, so *technically* spoken it
doesn't really matter where it is included. However, from a *convenience*
point of view, it is handy that linux/sound.h should include it. The fact
that linux/fs.h needs a cleanup should not be a reason to avoid including
it in a sound driver; we should fix the source of the problems, not cure
its effects (but we'll leave it until 2.5).
