alsa-lib alsa-plugins alsa-tools alsa-utils 1.2.2

[Douglas R. Reno]

New point versions of alsa components

[Douglas R. Reno]

In alsa-tools, I was able to fix the build of sb16_csp, but ld10k1 is going to need this version of alsa-lib. That can wait until after release.

Whenever we upgrade to 1.2.2, we'll need to remove the seds from alsa-tools. I'm going to add one more to fix sb16_csp since it can prevent audio from working properly under Qemu and most other virtualization platforms.

The sed that I'm going to implement for alsa-tools is:

sed -i -e 's/snd_sb_csp_microcode_t/struct snd_sb_csp_microcode/' sb16_csp/cspctl.c
