One method is to download alsa-lib source, apply the patch, compile
and install over the top of the existing Ubuntu libasound2 files.

Another method is to build your own patched libasound2 .deb
package to replace the standard Ubuntu one.

I'll be applying the patch here on Debian using the first method.
If you need instructions on how to do that, feel free to email
me off list at 'john.rigg.audio at gmail.com' (gmail doesn't like
my own mail server so I need to use that address to send mail to
gmail users).
