Compilation of ALSA "fireworks" driver for Echoaudio firewire DAC in slack-current


Hello everybody,
I'm trying to compile above mentioned driver in slackware-current. This driver,which can be found here:
http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-...0;hb=fireworks
is from ALSA development tree,which is, as they say for 2.6.x linux kernel. I have replaced contents of /usr/src/linux/sound/firewire with this driver,then ran menuconfig and marked it for a module compilation. And then:
Code:
root@slack:/usr/src/linux# make modules_prepare
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

make[1]: *** [sound/firewire/fireworks.o] Error 1
make: *** [_module_sound/firewire] Error 2
root@slack:/usr/src/linux#
Does anybody know whether these errors are related to GCC 4.7.x upgrade (and as I think, might be removed by some simple patch) or this driver needs to be completely rewriten in order to work in 3.7 kernel+ALSA 1.0.26 environment and attempting to compile this driver is just nonsense or have I done some other evident mistake? (I have a feeling for example that overwriting kernel source tree in a way I did is not exactly the right method of building such external modules(and probably even not necessary)). I understand that firewire audio is quite marginal topic in linux,but this device is in point of fact a central point of my household,so any help will be appreciated.

A supplication:It's not necessary to point out that there are things like ffado,jackd and qjackctl. I'm unsuccessfully fighting with them for nearly whole year and taking existence of this ALSA driver as a final Redemption!
Thank you very much.
