[alsa-devel] Latest snapshot - reliable source?
Hello Takashi.
Can I regard your ftp link below as a kind of reliable source where to get the latest snapshot at any time? Can I also expect that it is compatible to latest official driver release? Because than I'd ask people in (worst) case of trouble to give it a try before spamming the mailing list.

Define "compatible". The snapshot version is always newer than the released version.

Yes, trying the snapshot version is always recommended before submitting bug reports. That'll be anyway what I'll ask in the first reply automatically.

Define "compatible". The snapshot version is always newer than the released version.
What I mean: 1. Can I just tar into the latest driver directory? 2. Would I see a stepped up revision?

Hmm... not sure what do you mean "tar into the latest driver directory".
The snapshot tarball contains the whole alsa-driver* and alsa-kernel* contents, and is ready to configure, make and make-install like the released versions.
2. Would I see a stepped up revision?
You have HEAD files in alsa-driver*/ and alsa-driver*/alsa-kernel. These contain the GIT HEAD IDs.
