I tried all that and more and couldn't get it to work. I'm not blaming
ALSA (well, maybe the docs could be better) but since the kernel sound
works I don't need it.

Uh, well, that's why I decided to try to get the kernel version to work.
I'm very happy, by the way, with ALSA 0.5.x on another machine with an
SBLive board, so I'm not knocking ALSA per se, I just couldn't get 0.9 to
go on my Toshiba laptop.
