I tried RC3 and it never would compile.  I still have the errors from
attempts to compile it.  If possible, I'd rather use a later version as I
figure that it'll hopefully be less buggy.  Anyhow, here is a sample of
the errors I was getting when trying to build the driver.

About halfway down:

pdplus.c:3032: warning: #warning "This driver need to be ported to new hw_info"
pdplus.c:3082: warning: #warning "This driver need to be ported to new hw_info"
pdplus.c:3107: warning: #warning "This driver need to be ported to new hw_info"
pdplus.c:3136: warning: #warning "The S/PDIF setup code needs to be rewritten."
pdplus.c:3212: warning: #warning "This driver need to be ported to new hw_info"

Some time later:

                 from /usr/src/alsa-driver-0.9.0rc3/include/sound/driver.h:43,
                 from ../alsa-kernel/core/hwdep.c:22,
                 from hwdep.c:1:
/usr/src/alsa-driver-0.9.0rc3/include/linux/isapnp.h:334: warning: `struct
isapnp_card_id' declared inside parameter list
/usr/src/alsa-driver-0.9.0rc3/include/linux/isapnp.h:334: warning: its
scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what
you want.

This last error repeats over and over and finally, the build would bomb
out with:

sound.c:41: `snd_hack_usb_set_interface' undeclared here (not in a
function)
sound.c:41: initializer element is not constant
sound.c:41: (near initialization for
`__ksymtab_snd_hack_usb_set_interface.value')
make[1]: *** [sound.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/alsa-driver-0.9.0rc3/acore'
make: *** [compile] Error 1

Looking at this more closely, it may be choking on the fact that I don't
have USB on this machine and thus don't include USB support in my kernel.
any ideas?
