[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#531668: alsa-source: Does not build on 2.6.3x

[Paolo Saggese]

Package: alsa-source
Version: 1.0.21+dfsg-2
Followup-For: Bug #531668


Bug confirmed. I can't build it on any 2.6.3x Debian kernel. :(

I need to rebuild ALSA 'cause I do NEED the "snd-aloop" virtual
loopback device module and that's missing from stock kernels (I 
submitted a specifi bug report for that too).

Apart from this, the usual prayer: please keep alsa-source up to
date with the LATEST source version vailable from ALSA! 
Normally it doesn't (shouldn't!) make really much sense to have 
"alsa-source" at the very same version which is already built-in 
in the stock kernel, does it?
