[mythtv-users] ALSA issues with newer kernel [solution]

[Michael J. Sherman]

I'm just throwing this out here so it's in the archives for someone to 
not search on when it comes up ;-).

I was having issues trying to compile and install ALSA using kernel 
2.4.20 and ALSA 0.9.5.  On modprobe'ing the driver, it'd complain of 
unresolved symbols in snd.o.  Turns out it's a problem with the ALSA 
configure script deleting workqueue.h from 
alsa-driver-0.9.5/include/linux/.  So, after untarring the ALSA lib 
archive, go to that dir, copy the workqueue.h to something temporary 
like workqueue.xh.  Then go back and run the configure script as you 
would.  Before typing 'make', copy that temp workqeue.xh back to 
workqueue.h.  Then make, make install, etc.
