When I run the alsa-info.sh script, this is the output I get.
!!Kernel Information
!!------------------
Kernel release: 2.6.29.6-217.2.7.fc11.x86_64
Operating System: GNU/Linux
Architecture: x86_64
Processor: x86_64
SMP Enabled: Yes
!!ALSA Version
!!------------
Driver version: 1.0.18a
Library version: 1.0.20
Utilities version: 1.0.20
There is no package for the drivers pulled up in an rpm query. I
assumed that the reason they didn't have the 1.0.20 drivers installed
was an incompatibility with the kernel for some hardware. I can't think
of another reason they wouldn't be using the latest stable version.
They obviously know about it since they have the library and utilities
installed.
