Installation:
This Source Code is from www.alsa-project.org.
Installation notice:

For driver installation, please follow below steps. 

Automatic install:
execute

  ./install

        tar xfvj alsa-driver-1.0.xx.tar.bz2

Step 2. Turn on sound support (soundcore module, default turn on)

Step 3. Complied source code and install the driver
	a. cd alsa-driver-1.0.xx
	b. ./configure
	c. make
	d. make install
	e. ./snddevices

Step 4. Install ALSA Lib
        a. tar jxvpf alsa-lib-1.0.xx.tar.bz2
        b. cd alsa-lib-1.0.xx
