[media] ivtv-alsa: Remove EXPERIMENTAL from Kconfig and revise Kconfig help text

Remove the (somewhat meaningless?) dependency on EXPERIMENTAL for the
ivtv-alsa driver.  Revise the Kconfig help text to be a little clearer for
the lay person, while we are here.

-	  This is an ALSA interface driver for direct PCM audio capture from
-	  Conexant cx23415/cx23416 based PCI TV cards using the ivtv driver.
+	  This driver provides an ALSA interface as another method for user
+	  applications to obtain PCM audio data from Conexant cx23415/cx23416
+	  based PCI TV cards supported by the ivtv driver.
+
+	  The ALSA interface has much wider use in user applications performing
+	  PCM audio capture, than the V4L2 "/dev/video24" PCM audio interface
+	  provided by the main ivtv driver.
 
 	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
 	  module will be called ivtv-alsa.
