Here is the error I get compiling alsa-drivers. sorry I did not include that in my earlier post.

I did, here are some notes on the changes I made:

include/adriver.h (comment out line 214) /*typedef unsigned __nocast gfp_t; */

alsa-kernel/core/pcm_native.c (line 73) - DEFINE_RWLOCK(snd_pcm_link_rwlock); + rwlock_t snd_pcm_link_rwlock = RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED;

alsa-kernel/core/init.c (line 43) - DEFINE_RWLOCK(snd_card_rwlock); + rwlock_t snd_card_rwlock = RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED;

utils/alsa-driver.spec.in (remove BuildRequires line) BuildRequires: kernel-source >= 2.4
