We will never be able to get 100% of these before they get out the door, because the ALSA developers can't test on every possible hardware. And the group of users who test ALSA CVS and ALSA releases before they go in the kernel is small. That being said, you are 100% right. It is widely acknowledged that the release candidate process is broken. The solution is to fix the release candidate process, so more people try the -rcs. This is the only way to catch bugs like this before they get out. Please see the "release numbering" thread for some proposed solutions.
