We finally uploaded to unstable two days ago, as JACK was waiting for
it.

Fortunately, I found the scummvm problem after David sent out the bug
reports. In the file backends/midi/alsa.cpp, you will find:

#if SND_LIB_MINOR >=3D 6
#define snd_seq_flush_output(x) snd_seq_drain_output(x)
#define snd_seq_set_client_group(x,name)        /*nop */
#define my_snd_seq_open(seqp) snd_seq_open(seqp, "hw",
SND_SEQ_OPEN_OUTPUT, 0)
#else
/* SND_SEQ_OPEN_OUT causes oops on early version of ALSA */
#define my_snd_seq_open(seqp) snd_seq_open(seqp, SND_SEQ_OPEN)
#endif

As the new minor version for 1.0.x is 0, this condition doesn't work
anymore. Add SND_LIB_MAJOR >=3D 1 to that condition, too, and it should be
ok.

What others have used:
#if ((SND_LIB_MINOR >=3D 6) && (SND_LIB_MAJOR =3D=3D 0)) || (SND_LIB_MAJOR =
>=3D
1)

That should be enough (besides adding the defines David said in his
previous mail).

Thanks,
Jordi
