You'll need to tweak that ./configure line and maybe also edit a couple 
of make files. No - don't run. It's not that scary! :-)


First - to avoid the verbose printk stuff, use the following configure line

   ./configure --with-cards=au8830 --with-sequencer=yes 
--disable-verbose-printk

Now, build as normal:

   make

switch to root user and install:

   su -
   make install

If you are running alsa through the runlevel system and your 
/etc/modules.conf file has been set up ready, you can now try

   service alsa restart

to see if it works. Try running

   /sbin/lsmod

and make sure that snd-au8820 module is loaded.

If you get further errors, post them again.
