[pulseaudio-discuss] patching alsa 1.0.17

[Jack Howarth]

   I am running into a problem applying the patches from...

http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2008-July/009343.html
http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2008-July/009344.html
http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2008-July/009346.html

to the alsa-plugins 1.0.17 release tarball. I copied the text of these
patches in firefox and have been unable to find a permutation of patch
arguments that would successfully apply the changes. Do these patches
only work on the git directory of alsa?
