Dear all,

  I am involved in a project which will use different kernel versions

along the way, first 4.14, 4.19, 5.3 etc.

How can I know the differences in ALSA, besides comparing files ?

How to get the ALSA version in Linux kernel ?

There is no "ALSA version" any longer in the kernel side. The protocol is kept in backward-compatible way, and a new protocol is checked via each protocol version number ioctl.
