I know - I am on all the ALSA lists and read every bug report. And in fact compilation errors are quite rare. The numbers are misleading because "0-Compilation error" is the default category in the bug tracker and lots of users don't set it correctly ;-)
It is unfortunate that users hitting an already-fixed bug have to compile it themselves, but I think the solution is for the distros to follow ALSA a bit more closely and apply the critical "no sound" fixes to their packages rather than waiting for the next release. I know for a fact that Ubuntu does this.
