The patch was merged to ALSA CVS so you may check the new alsa-driver (when it comes) or download the affected file from ALSA CVS and merge it to the latest driver package.

Understood, I'm assuming that the changes will go into the kernel once they release their next RC (I hope). In the meantime I'll try to compile in the patch myself and see if it actually makes a difference. BTW, great kernel compilation instructions in the release notes. Thanks to whoever wrote those. Now, I'll go pester the folks at Alsa to get that patch upstream.

    Unless patches are crashers, they likely won't make it into FC5 without
    being in the upstream kernel.  Work with the ALSA project to make sure
    that patch gets into the upstream kernel ASAP, and it will show up in
    Fedora quite soon after that.

    Part of this is for quality reasons; if the patch makes it into the
    kernel, then it's likely it's good enough.  It's also for API reasons
    and maintainability.  The less different Fedora kernels are from
    upstream "vanilla" kernels, the less work it is to update Fedora kernels
    every time a new upstream kernel is released.
