Not that I am the one responsiple, but what is the standard ALSA version? (also, do you have a report on ecasound not compiling with gcc 2.95?)
ALSA is moving quite fast forward, and to keep up with it is an admirable achievement. If you want stability, use OSS, for now.
(note: by OSS I mean the one that shipped with your kernel, or ALSA emulation)
