stransky at redhat.com decided to version 1.0.9 as "1.0.9rf" to avoid the
epoch bump (he's lucky that rf > rc ... ;).

So any alsa packages for 1.0.9 targetting FC4 should follow this
release scheme for 1.0.9.

Not nice, but better than epoch bumbs, and once 1.0.10 gets out we
don't need to carry any baggage anymore.

There is also a tiny patch required for 1.0.9 for 2.4. kernels:
