The ALSA harmony driver, written by Laurent Canet, has been merged 
upstream about
8 months _after_ being sent to the ALSA group. In the meantime, some 
stuff had changed
in the kernel, making it unbuildable...

That's a *feature*, and [very] low priority on todo list. Use the OSS 
driver instead :P
