I would like to help out where I can, but I know nothing about ALSA (I want 
to utilize the joystick routines).  I did find this link to the QNX Sound 
Architecture documentation: 
http://www.qnx.com/developer/docs/momentics_nc_docs/neutrino/audio/about.html
Regarding your question about the ALSA API version, the following is 
contained in that document: "What's New in QNX 6.2: The QNX Sound 
Architecture (QSA) has evolved away from ALSA." and later "QSA has a rich 
heritage and owes a large part of its design to version 0.5.2 of the 
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA)".  Does that help at all?  Is 
there anyone out there interested in getting this to compile?
