snd-pcsp: adjust help texts to frighten users
Added the warning text to the help of snd-pcsp about the possible problem
with this driver so that user can know of the problem in advance.

Also, removed the obsoleted text about ancient pc-speaker patch in
CONFIG_SOUND help.

 	  You can compile this as a module which will be called snd-pcsp.
 
+	  WARNING: if you already have a soundcard, enabling this
+	  driver may lead to a problem. Namely, it may get loaded
+	  before the other sound driver of yours, making the
+	  pc-speaker a default sound device. Which is likely not
+	  what you want. To make this driver play nicely with other
+	  sound driver, you can add this into your /etc/modprobe.conf:
+	  options snd-pcsp index=2

 	  You don't need this driver if you only want your pc-speaker to beep.
 	  You don't need this driver if you have a tablet piezo beeper
 	  in your PC instead of the real speaker.
 
-	  It should not hurt to say Y or M here in all other cases.
+	  Say N if you have a sound card.
+	  Say M if you don't.
+	  Say Y only if you really know what you do.
