You could do that, but *ick*. Using a mythtv patch to patch a system
header? I guess it would functionally serve the purpose but seems just
wrong :)

Anyway... I did it my way and it did indeed fix the problem. The only
oddity is that alsa apparently uses a header and footer file to
generate the include file so I had to patch the header file since
patching asoundlib.h directly just got overwritten.

diff -Naur alsa-lib-1.0.26.orig/include/asoundlib-head.h
