you really do not want to upgrade to alsa-lib 1.1.2

[Jude DaShiell]

Chris, thanks much!  I was wondering what took down my talkingarch 
system!  Fortunately I have the downgrade script installed so I can not 
only downgrade alsalib but also put it on the ignore list until further 
notice.  Something that wasn't mentioned in archlinux documentation was 
if you want to take something off the ignore list explicitly install it 
with the -S option and answer yes to the prompt about the package being 
on the ignore list and you get the package installed.
