It seems, that you're not understand the compatibility.
1) build library with --with-compat-rc3 and place it to some
other directory
3) build library without --with-compat-rc3, place it to
/usr/lib as usuall
4) build alsa-utils and newer applications
5) build older applications with compatible library compiled
with --with-compat-rc3
Old and new software will co-exist without any problems. Perhaps, we
can have some good default place for rc3 compatible library and add an
autoconfiguration code to alsa.m4. My suggestion is to use /opt/alsa/rc3
directory for this job. Comments?
