I actually added 'deb http://people.debian.org/~dbharris/debs/ ./' to 
my sources.list because it otherwise didn't worked, and upgraded 
libasound2 and libasound2-dev as requested.

Thanks for looking after this.
The same programs that failed for me with -1.0.3 work fine with 
- -1.0.4, which are good news!


However, my previous tests were done using a crappy on-board sound 
interface (supported by the snd-via82xx module) but the new ones were 
done using a SB Live 5.1 sound card (supported by the snd-emu10k1 
module). As the former module or sound interface had a subtle 
different behaviur (causing for example quake3 to hang up with a 
looping sound, which is btw the reason I bought a new sound card) my 
results are not as metodologically reliable as they could be. 
Nevertheless I hope they are useful.
