I have 
got the same problem with the plain-vanilla linux kernel. After alsa 
updated 
I get the undefined symbols.

The problem, IMHO, is that alsa keeps pace 
with the kernel releases. So eg. 
after 2.4.19-rc3, you also get a 
alsa-rc3.

Now, we don't do kernel rc's (I hope), so we probably shold 
hold off on alsa 
updates until the next kernel release. I would suggest you 
revert to the 
previous alsa version.
