Linux version is 2.3.0

Description
When ALSA compiles, it includes different code depending on which version of Linux is reported. At present in Uniaud this is 2.3.0, which, we can be sure, is untested with the latest ALSA code. This could be a source of some problems on the new hardware.
Setting the value to 2.6.0 causes the compile to fail, so clearly there is some work needed to update the Linux code. It should be a matter of setting this and finding the relevant bits in Linux and porting it.
One thing to check with this is the macro used to figure the version number in Uniaud uses a bit shift, whereas I have the distinct impression that Linux uses a direct decimal conversion. So the numbers might only work out the same when all digits are low enough. Just something to verify at the same time this is done.
Hi
I'm closing this ticket because it is too old.
Something related is that Paul Smedley had been working to update the UniAud code to level 4.14 and it had been posted on this forum thread: https://www.os2world.com/forum/index.php?topic=2436.msg28968#msg28968
I hope that some day it will became mainstream code.
