[Alsa-user] why does Alsa need "kernel version information" enabled?

[Stefan K. <kat...@gm...>]

Hi,

  when i compiled the latest alsa version (i guess 0.9.2), i got an error on 
an missing linuxheader. It was called "kernelversion" or so, and when i 
recompiled my kernel with "kernel information on modules" enabled alsa got 
this include-file.
i suppose alsa should work without this kernel option, ain't it?
btw the error may not appear if you don't compile all drivers...
Is this supposed to be (then it should be checked during 'configure'!) or just 
an error?

greetings,
