Hey, 1.0.14 isn't supported any more . This version was valid ages
ago.

I run a n800 maemo driven as well. But as of my understanding
packages for that arch should be updated to the newest versions (we're
running 1.0.23 right now). You need to find a MAEMO-ALSA maintainer.

Debian people are happy to find flavours like MAEMO but the
maintaining of those packages should be kept by MAEMO people.
