Package: alsa-source
Version: 1.0.13-5etch1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Using "make-kpkg modules_image" fails to build the alsa-modules for me.
I am using a vanilla 2.4.36.2 kernel. I believe this problem is already
fixed upstream, since the 1.0.14 Changelog mentions "Fix build with
DEVFS":
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Changes_v1.0.13_v1.0.14

Hit return to Continue

Fixing this then triggers this error:

I do not have a proper fix for this error, but with a work-around the
alsa-modules package compiles correctly.
