Yes, i'm tracking sid, but the configuration from the 0.5 version need a little
change to working with the 0.9 version,  i'm not an expert but actually the
driver don't work with the options for the playback and capture buffer
activated, so i've deleted the line. I've not investigated further...

I post the config below in any case.

"/etc/alsa/modutils/1.0"
