Using your command line, "./configure" gave me an error about the 
source.  I added the source to the end:

./configure --with-build=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/ 
--with-debug=full --enable-dynamic-minors --with-moddir=updates 
--with-kernel=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32.16-141.fc12.i686

...that made ./configure happy.  Make and make install ran fine, then 
reboot and I get:

[root at vanson tmp]# cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21.
[root at vanson tmp]#

This should have worked, but....?  By the way, we only updating the 
driver...could it be reporting the wrong version?
