When you try to compile Alsa on Ubuntu 10.10, it compiles fine. When you try to load the new kernel modules, you get

As far as I understand, this is related to the rest of the kernel being compiled with the Alsa OSS sound options.
I am actually fine with this decision of removing OSS. OSS was deprecated for ages.

However, what changes do I need to make to the stock Alsa so that it can be used in Ubuntu 10.10 (or newer)?
