I've uploaded a new build, which can be obtained from the test page or downloaded here.This is the first build using the ALSA backend that I posted about previously.

Fortunately I push my repository to a remote server regularly. Until I get a new drive and the Macbook set up again I'm using another laptop dual booting Linux and Windows.
