alsa broken after 2.2.18 upgrade

[Jim Danley]

Yesterday I upgraded to 2.2.18 and experienced the same error as you when
compiling the alsa driver.  Thanks to suggestions from Kirk and Frank,
I was finally able to compile cleanly.  Here are the steps that I took.
Perhaps they will work for you as well.

completely remove the alsa driver directory and its contents
(rm -r alsa-driver-0.5.9d)

re-install from the file archive
(bunzip2 -c alsa-driver-0.5.9d.tar.bz2 | tar xf -)

change to the alsa-driver-0.5.9d directory and run configure with the
--with-cards= option.

By default, ./configure sets things up so you can compile and install
ALL of the drivers and you only really need to install the driver for
your particular sound card.

I ran (./configure --with-cards=cs4236)

then run:
make
make install

and you should be well on your way.  Now, if your sound card happens to
be a wavefront ... write to the developers.  Good luck.
