Yeah, blindly disabling it, if some versions work is not the right thing to do. I'm not an Ubuntu user, so, I'm not sure when it was fixed. Still, from time to time, people complain to me about this problem with some Ubuntu versions. The last complains I heard were with some netbook versions of Ubuntu-based distros. If there's a way to check what versions have broken alsa headers, then the checker should just disable to the broken ones. Otherwise, the better way seems to just print a warning message that ALSA might not be working, but keep it enabled.
