ALSA 1.0.0pre3 release

Hi,

right now the ALSA 1.0.0pre3 packages are released.

In this version, alsa-tools package was divided to two several ones,
alsa-tools and alsa-firmware.  The latter contains only the firmware
binary files required by loader programs in alsa-tools package.
Please test them if you have a board requiring the loader (hdsp,
mixart, vx, usx2y).

Especially, HDSP users, please test and report whether it works, since
the hdsploader was modified to load the files dynamically.


Changes

- usb-audio driver supports async unlinking.
  On 2.6 kernels, it's enabled as default, but on older kenrels, it's
  disabled to avoid a serious usb-uhci bug.  If you have another
  controller, please try the module option async_unlink=1.

- hdsp driver update (including H9652 bugfixes).

- support of more Tascam USxxx devices.

- Audiotrak Prodigy bugfixes.

- fixed noise on vx222 with 24bit mode.
   
- complation fixes on alsa-drivers.
  The 2.2 kernel is still not tested well.  If you can test it, please
  let us know.

- fixed CM8738-MC6 5.1 alias.

- alsaconf fix for RH, Fedora and Mandrake.

- hdsp* tools updates.  compilation fixes.
