That should be possible, yes. Or just build the library yourself and
redirect your linker to take the self-compiled library rather than the
system-wide instance.

People on this list are usually really busy and I'm not sure whether
anybody would offer such specifc support unless it points out a
specific problem in the ALSA code. But I can't speak for everyone
