On the debug side, I think it would be nicer if we could just compile with all debugging available, then specify a debug=<level> option on module load or through /sys writes (echo 3 >/sys/module/snd_hda-intel/parameters/debug). This way, each module can be debugged independently without a lot of debug messages from other modules. As to the Kconfig option, switching to that would then require users/developers to edit a kernel config file. Being able to select which module to compile is far easier for people that only care about one or two specific cards. Just my $.02(USD) worth.
