Will do.
I just figured out Juan's apply_patches script.  Makes things much simpler.

So it's a patches, as i guessed. I think you could still make it easier to 
find for juan if you can find the responsible patch.
Since I assume that it only broke recently, start with trying recently 
added patches.

Yupp, and you can send me the diff to update it.

But first, please, test 2.4.22.0.7mdk, as I fixed a typo in request
module on our alsa patches.
I diffed the sources.  Your alsa tar and the official tarball are identical.

However, there are a LOT of patches applied, many of them to USB stuff, so I 
assume that's what's hanging the Quattro.  Also I'm not sure why snd-seq-midi 
isn't building (or it's being deleted), but that should be easier to fix than 
the Quattro problem.

I'd suggest looking at SuSe's current kernel, as most of the ALSA developers 
work for SuSe.

well, the problem is not totally their own, it's just that build
system had been altered between 2.4.x and 2.6.x (split/merge of
Documentation/Configure.help with Config.in files in new syntax
Kconfig files), and that alsa team only officially support Kconfig
though somes patches are generated from times to times to 2.4.x tree.
