It wasn't deemed worthy a reply, so apparently nobody cares. Ah well.
I care, but it's sometimes difficult to change old habits ;-( I hope to remember new versioning scheme for a next release. The last ALSA release versions ending with a character are just quick fixes, so just increase the package release version for your distro and add a small patch with changes.

One could just move to a 4 number scheme with the last number being minor fixes. Much like the linux kernel release numbers. What would have to change to move from ALSA 1.0.x.x to 1.1.x.x ?
IMO, when some major API additions/changes go in.

Similarly, when the whole API get changed. But, this would happen rarely, I guess :)
