what I'm doing exactly is AC_TRY_RUNing a small program that outputs one part
of ALSA's version at a time, and then loading it back into an M4/sh variable.
It works as it is, and detects either main version of alsa fine.
My 0.9 pcm driver is almost done, I just need to do some testing and tweeking,
but as it is, Its in with the 0.5 driver. Not messy really, but If you really
want me to take out the 0.5 code I can.
