Hi Max, ALSA-Lib shouldn't be a problem, since the symbols are provided by the ALSA modules. The unknown symbols are probably because only the newer snd-hda-intel module is loaded, and not all of the other newer ones. The newly made modules should all be copied to /lib/modules/(kernel version)/sound directory, if I'm not mistaken. You can try copying the contents of that dir to a safe place (e.g. your home directory) and then deleting it. Then, fill it with the modules (.ko files ) in (alsa source dir)/modules and run 'depmod -ae' to update dependencies. After this it should only load the new modules.
