It has never worked in the past, but I consider it a bug for the compat layer
to behave differently from native code. In this case, any 32-bit application
using the SNDRV_COMPRESS_* ioctls will just fail to do anything on
a 64-bit kernel at all without the trivial fix that should have been there when
the driver was originally merged.
