[alsa-devel] using plug for sample format conversion

I am using the latest release of uClinux for Blackfin BF537 and do not
know how to configure and install the latest version of alsa-lib and
alsa-utils.  I am starting to understand how struct snd_pcm_hardware
is used by the ALSA PCM code but you are correct to assume I may have
something wrong.  Here is the struct:

static struct snd_pcm_hardware ourCS42448PcmHw =
{
	.info = (SNDRV_PCM_INFO_INTERLEAVED | SNDRV_PCM_INFO_BLOCK_TRANSFER ),
	.formats = SNDRV_PCM_FMTBIT_S32_LE,
	.rates = SNDRV_PCM_RATE_48000,
	.rate_min = 48000,
	.rate_max = 48000,
	.buffer_bytes_max = 32768,
	.channels_min = 1,
	.channels_max = 2,
	.period_bytes_max = 32768,
	.periods_min = 1,
	.period_bytes_min = 8,
	.periods_max = 4096,
};

Can you tell me how to configure and install the latest ALSA and
whether the snd_pcm_hardware is correct?

Thanks,
Adam
