I originally thought to select items from SND_SMALL_FOOTPRINT, but this doesn't seem to work. At least, "de"selecting isn't supported by Kconfig (i.e. set SND_PROC_FS=n when SND_SMALL_FOOTPRINT=y). We may have SND_NO_PROC_FS and select it, but it's too bad.
So, IMO, we can drop SND_SMALL_FOOTPRINT but let users choose each knob when EXPERT=y.
