I commented out the function definition of usb_make_path() in the alsa-driver-xxx adriver.h file and now it compiles without errors. Since usb_make_path() is wrapped in a kernel version it probably is true that Sun back ported some of the usb functionality.

SND_CTL_READONLY does not appear to be declared anywhere. I assume that this is also a function of new kernels, or Sun's implementation, and if I added the declaration to the alsa-utils-xxx somewhere it would be proper. Where should the declaration go? Any idea how to get the proper values?

Are you part of the alsa development team?
