You can do this however you want; ALSA doesn't impose any restriction. Many drivers choose put the code for different components in separate source files because the components are actually independent. When a driver uses other modules, this is usually because that hardware is common for multiple sound cards (e.g., most MIDI interfaces are compatible with the Roland MPU-401). > I looked into the /usr/src/linux-2.6.35/sound directory.

The basic driver structure is explained in the documentation; most of the additional code in drivers handles the quirks of actual hardware and would not be very helpful for you. Do you have any specific questions? Please tell us more about the architecture of your hardware.
