I just updated alsa-drivers, alsa-lib, alsa-utils, alsa-oss, and
alsa-tools packages to the latest version (0.9.0rc1).  Could you
people please test them, and we should unmask the 0.9 version of alsa,
since, according to alsa's web site[1]:

   The 0.5.x series is considered deprecated and is no longer
   supported by ALSA developers.

One gotcha when upgrading to the new version is that portage thinks
that 0.9.0.1_beta10 is newer than 0.9.0_rc1.  Note that the 0.9.0.1
version was a hack to work around portage's deficiency with handling
alphabetic parts in versions (it should have been 0.9.0a_beta10, but
that doesn't work with portage).  Now that hack has backfired on us,
and anyone who wants to upgrade would have to specify the new version
for alsa-lib and alsa-utils. :-(
