Many thanks to everybody for the help and interest. Bob Lockie writes: > Why do people even try the v5 version? > This is not the first person.
The answer is disarmingly simple: The ALSA home page 'alsa-project.org' itself: N.B. The 0.5.x series is considered deprecated and is no longer supported by ALSA _developers_ (the emphasis is mine). Latest Software Releases: Package Driver Library Utilities Stable release 0.5.12a 0.5.10b 0.5.10 Development release 0.9.0rc6 0.9.0rc6 0.9.0rc6 People not developer by trade (such a I), they go naturally (and IMHO, unimpeded, by the way ALSA has worded this announcement) to the "Stable release". Like when you go for a car, you tend to rather choose a stable one over the one in development release :-) > Where are the old versions coming from? Same place as the 0.9.0rc6: follow the link 'Download' to /pub/driver,lib,utils respectively! > The official homepage seems clear. Without being (too) defensive, needles to say I feel good that I'm "not the first person" to read the "clear" note the other way around :-) Hope you believe I do share your frustration fully, based on the amount of effort and time I wasted on this wild goose chase.
