Ok, I downloaded todays (14th October) snapshot. At least ftp sais the 
file alsa-driver-unstable-snapshot.tar.bz2 is of 14.10.2008.
I extracted it, ran configure, make , make install. No reboot on aplay 
now, but Oops occurs. Tried with sysytem timer (make clean, changed 
#undef XXX_SYSTEM_TIMER to #define XXX_SYSTEM_TIMER in sbxfi.c, 
configure, make, make install). Oops again.
Here's the error message:
