how can I upgrade alsa?

From alsa-project.org:

> Is there some sane method to intergrate ALSA from CVS into whatever
> is the latest 2.6 kernel source tree... how ?


ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/kernel-patches .

or (use BitKeeper):

bk pull http://linux-sound.bkbits.net/linux-sound

or

simply copy files from the ALSA's alsa-kernel CVS module to relevant 
locations in the 2.6 kernel tree.

I use custom kernel(archck and extras) and I want to upgrade alsa to newest version(1.0.11rc3 at the moment). I have intel-hda sound card and now I have some problems with the sound - sometimes it sounds corrupted. I red somewhere that newest version is fixed. The best way would be a patch like thisone:
ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/kernel-p … 1.patch.gz
But when I try to applay this patch I've got errors. Can anyone tell me how to do this correctly?
Thanks

I've got this error when I try to patch alsa:

can't find file to patch at input line 710
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff --git a/sound/pci/cs5535audio/cs5535audio.c b/sound/pci/cs5535audio/cs5535audio.c
|index f36ede8..02e3721 100644
|--- a/sound/pci/cs5535audio/cs5535audio.c
|+++ b/sound/pci/cs5535audio/cs5535audio.c
--------------------------
File to patch:

I use "-Np1 -i" command. Any ideas are very welcome.
Thanks

Forget about trying to patch anything. Just get the ALSA source code for version 1.0.11 (release candidate) drivers and library from the alsa website and follow the instructions to compile and install it. That's all you need to do to get the hda to work.

I tried this way and somehow it didn't work. I want to have everything in one PKGBUILD becouse it's much faster to do, especially when I rebuild my kernel very often.

well then, you should just wait for the arch package release of ALSA 1.0.11. That should be along within a few weeks.
