Bjorn, RE: how to build an older version of ALSA on a > newer kernel? Not hard. See http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-seventh/msg00282.html But before doing the "make install", Best move /lib/modules/YourKernelVersion/ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver to (say) your root/ folder, so it will be available to move back. Then do the "make install" step.
