Created attachment 82277 [details]
0001-Support-ALSA-without-a-use-case-manager.patch

This spawned off bug 62865.

Attached is a patch that makes the ALSA use case manager portion optional. On systems with an older ALSA, the UCM code will simply return a failure and the ALSA modules will have to make due without UCM.

Is this really useful? Seems regressive to me to add dead code just to support a library version that is >2 years old.
Comment 2 Pierre Ossman 2013-07-10 16:53:17 UTC 
Well, as mentioned on the original bug, there are still distributions (primarily the enterprise ones) that have an ALSA that is too old for the UCM requirement.
