Yes.  I've been working hard to make sure a recent and working alsa is part of 
9.2, and I only have about two weeks left to do so.

As of last night, I believe all alsa-related packages are 0.9.6, and 
everything seems to be working well except my M-Audio Quattro, which works 
with alsa build from source, but not with the driver included with the 
kernel.  I'm working on a solution though.

Everything else is up-to-date as well I believe.  Ardour beta3, audacity, 
muse, swami, fluidsynth, all of Holborn's stuff, the multimedia kernel, and a 
fancy new GUI for jack, etc. etc.

I still haven't managed to figure out a way to get csound in, but I figure 
that anyone smart enough to be able to actually USE csound will also be smart 
enough to know how to install it.  :-)
