That'd be 1.0.20 userspace and 1.0.18a kernelspace. The kernel alsa  
version tends to lag a fair amount pretty regularly... You may well  
need newer alsa for hdmi audio. Probably worth trying the 2.6.29.5- 
whatever kernel in F10 updates-testing (its going to be pushed as an  
update Real Soon Now anyway).
