Sure, the family-defconfigs are supposed to be supersets that can boot
everywhere. If you're concerned about static kernel size you can always
enable it as modules instead.
It just seems wrong to add full support for audio and video in the kernel, 
when it can be used only on one, relatively obscure chip.  Video support 
would need to be in-kernel only in order to get the console working, and I 
suspect that core ALSA support would need to be in-kernel as well.
See the text you quoted from me above, it applies at a reply to this as well.
