I did not follow all of the thread... But is alsa-tools-1.0.23 not good
enough?  `sudo apt-get install alsa-tools` ?!

Here's a pragmatic way to make a .deb of libasound2 - alsa-lib-1.0.24.1

cd /tmp/
apt-get source libasound2
sudo apt-get build-dep libasound2
mv -vi alsa-lib-1.0.23/ alsa-lib-1.0.24.1
curl ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/lib/alsa-lib-1.0.24.1.tar.bz2 \
| tar xvj
cd alsa-lib-1.0.24.1
# edit debian/changelog -> alsa-lib (1.0.24.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
# edit debian/rules -> remove line 15-18 (biarch builds)
libtoolize --force --copy --automake
aclocal
autoreconf
debuild -b -us -uc
sudo dpkg -i ../*asound2*.deb

/usr/include/alsa/ --- libasound2-dev
/usr/src/linux/include/sound/ --- kernel headers
