Think i've already answered that one,
you don't need to change a lot of PD code :
 
a/ install alsa-driver and alsa-lib
 
b/ change
#include <sys/asoundlib.h>
with
#include <alsa/asoundlib.h>
in src/s_linux.c.
 
Still, you'll get those warnings :
 
s_linux.o: In function `alsa_open_audio':
/usr/local/pd/src-patch-sounfile/s_linux.c:2032: Warning: start_mode is deprecated, consider to use start_threshold
/usr/local/pd/src-patch-sounfile/s_linux.c:2035: Warning: xrun_mode is deprecated, consider to use stop_threshold

Don't panic, it will work despite those warnings
( at least with 2.4.9 kernel ).
 
Sorry if new errors appear with kernel 2.4.16....
Good luck§
