I tested your previous version with -i hw, and it worked fine on debian
unstable. I hope to find some time for repeating the test this evening,
but I guess it will still work ;-)

So, I hope this can go in svn soon...
One only important doubt: what happens if the alsa library installed on
the system does not provide snd_pcm_htimestamp()? Is alsa compilation
disabled by configure, or will the build fail? I think this is very
important in order to avoid a storm of "rxxx broke ffmpeg compilation on
my system" (AFAICS, many linux distributions do not provide
snd_pcm_htimestamp()).
