recomended Alsa version for an AWE64?

[Steve Holmes]

I keep hearing so many horrer stories about getting ALSA going that I
hardly find the worth in even trying.  I understand it is supposed to
work better than OSS like recording better and more reliably and to
allow full duplex operation with Speak Freely but...  I wonder why the
compilation procedures for ALSa have been so unpredictable and
apparently flakey.
