I have never compiled Alsa from source, so I can't fairly comment on how
difficult it is. However, if you're comfortable compiling a kernel from
source, Alsa shouldn't be any harder.
If you want to try a 2.6 series again, start a new thread with your error
message, and we'll try to help you out.

This is unexpected. Well, if this and any of the other solutions mentioned
in other threads don't solve your problem, then I guess going to Alsa is
the only thing that's going to do it.
