I don't know.  I'm not in charge of the Mandrake kernel, nor do I understand 
exactly how the kernel team does things.  I assume it's just easier/less work 
to apply a kernel patch containing alsa than to configure/make/install four 
tarballs separately.

They just updated the kernel last night... I'll see if it's any better.
