We'd all be happy if ALSA was already a finalized API and finalized
implementation, established, proven, "mainstream", etc. But it's not! So if you
want it or not, at the moment ALSA 0.9 is NOT meant for mainstream, because it
IS still in development!

You claim any responsibility of the ALSA developers for linux users. They have
not! This is open source. And I don't see what's wrong with using 0.5 until 0.9
is released.
