That’s what I hate about Linux: nothing is stable and everybody reinvents 
everything every now and then. And if the many Linux distributions use the same
modules you can be sure that there is a race for the newest version of it.
My Solaris VM doesn’t use ALSA. I tried alsa-lib for OpenSolaris from SFE 
repository but it’s not needed and thus I removed the library.
