Comment (by elias):

 Actually, I was wrong on the Allegro mailing list - we do support signed
 as well as unsigned.

 If in the above file, src/unix/alsa9.c, the line "alsa_signed = 0;" is
 changed to "alsa_signed = 1;", the alsa driver always uses signed instead
 of unsigned. Now we'd just need someone who knows how to query ALSA about
 what it supports, and we could fix Allegro's alsa driver.
