[sent also to alsa-dev - maybe I missed an announcement about this?]

The jack (Jack Audio Connection Kit, cvs from around the beginning of
September) code no longer compiles with the most recent alsa cvs:

alsa_driver.c: In function `alsa_driver_set_parameters':
alsa_driver.c:403: too few arguments to function 
`snd_pcm_hw_params_get_format'
alsa_driver.c:404: too few arguments to function 
`snd_pcm_hw_params_get_access'
alsa_driver.c:416: too few arguments to function 
`snd_pcm_hw_params_get_format'
alsa_driver.c:417: too few arguments to function 
`snd_pcm_hw_params_get_access'

There has been a backwards incompatible alsa api change. This is recent, I
guess, it compiles with cvs of 20020820.180035 (USA Pacific time). I know
there MUST a perfectly good reason for a backwards incompatible api change
at this point (some new extended format structure?), but may I say,
respectfully, something?

 ARGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

:-)

When trying to run a jack server with a newly compiled alsa driver and 
library I get a not very informative diagnostic from jack:

  jackd 0.37.2

  creating alsa driver ... hw|1024|2|48000|swmon
  programming error: unhandled format type

It is not segfaulting (why? is it just chance that it did not?)

To the alsa gurus: could a message be sent to alsa-dev when there are
backwards incompatible changes in the API please? It'd be good to know, I
think (at least _I_ would like to know). Please?
