Alsa pkg *git

Hello,

I was serching the web to find a solution for a sound problem.

However, a treat says that I need the following alsa driver or higher - Version 1.0.20-git20090806.
I didn't find a *git-version in the repos.

#pacman -Qs alsa

local/alsa-lib 1.0.21.a-1
    An alternative implementation of Linux sound support
local/alsa-oss 1.0.17-1
    OSS compatibility library
local/alsa-utils 1.0.21-1
    An alternative implementation of Linux sound support

I've version 21 but what does the "git" in 1.0.20-git20090806 mean, respectively is the git package another package or is only the name different to my package?

Thank you!

Re: Alsa pkg *git

Anybody an idea if the arch alsa pkg (alsa-lib 1.0.21.a-1) and the pkg named alsa-driver.git on the alsa website are the same?
