- added backward compatibility for older non-compatible functions
- added --with-compat-rc3 to configure script to build library
backwards compatible with 0.9.0rc3
- added symbol versioning like libc.so.6
- ALSA_0.9 - alsa base
- ALSA_0.9.0rc4 - first set of new functions (snd_pcm_hw_params_*)
The sequencer API is totally recoded with the style of "encapsulation"
in other api.
The structure becomes opaque and accessed only via functions.
Other changes:
- There is no longer group in client and port info.
- snd_seq_query_subs_t is renamed to snd_seq_query_subscribe_t.
- snd_seq_delete_port takes only the port id argument instead of
port_info structure.
- snd_seq_input/output_buffer_size are renamed
as snd_seq_get_input/output_buffer_size.
Similarly snd_seq_resize_input/output_buffer are renamed as
snd_seq_set_input/output_buffer_size.
- snd_seq_get_named_queue is renamed to snd_seq_query_named_queue.
- Sync codes are removed temporarily from API.
- Subscription conditions are accessed via the corresponding functions.
convert_time is named now as time_update.
- snd_seq_get/set_queue_owner are removed.
Use snd_seq_get/set_queue_info instead.
- Instrument put/get/remove structure is unified as snd_instr_header_t.
- the /usr/share/alsa/cards.conf file contains the translation table
Added snd_sctl_build and snd_sctl_free functions.
Recoded the surround plugin to use the surround.conf file.
- the /usr/share/alsa/surround.conf file contains the surround configuration

OK, the attached is the patch to alsa-driver and alsa-lib.
It will really violate the source/binary compatibility as
I wrote :-p
It includes:
- change of event data for accessing Timer Port
- new middle-level functions for sequencer in alsa-lib
- some comments / fixes
The test programs in alsa-lib (playmidi1, aconnect, aseqnet)
were rewritten to use the new functions above.
I included also a patch to pmidi-1.2.2.
