I know because of the package. You can find the driver version by running cat /proc/asound/version and the utilities version by running aplay --version . I couldn't find a way to get the library version. You can use the run alsa-info.sh --no-upload and the output will have the driver, library, and tool version at the top. The script is found at http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh libasound is always version 2.0.0, no matter the alsa-lib version. I presume that is to facilitate testing and upgrading. Nothing will break with newer versions. So that is unrelated to alsa version. You can find the latest beta versions of all the alsa source here http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Changes_v1.0.17rc2_v1.0.17rc3 And a link to the latest stable release here http://www.alsa-project.org _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
