Why do people even try the v5 version?The answer is disarmingly simple: The ALSA home page 'alsa-project.org' itself:
This is not the first person.
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.
You wouldn't believe the number of people that try v5 first and it doesn't work.
They are almost always pointed to v9 which has better support for their soundcard, etc.
