Okay there is a ticket in to add this option directly into RokSprocket. I'll keep an eye on it's progress and report back here.
I'm not sure why you would put an extra data entry field in Roksprocket for the ALT tag. Why doesn't the module simply pick up the ALT tag that was stored in the database when the image is uploaded via Media Manager or the ALT text field from the image article if the user selects the article image?
Looking at the current code in the module you can see it grabs the image source but not the ALT text:
<img src="<?php echo $item->getPrimaryImage()->getSource(); ?>" [b]alt=""[/b] style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;" />
To me this is kind of a big deal because not only does it have an impact on SEO for pages, this tag is something that search engines include in their algorithm for image searches.

I've reprinted it for you:
Phil Yonge wrote:I can't find an option anywhere in the slideshow features layout to assign my simple item - image alternative text attribute as shown in the output code below. As you can see the attribute is empty. The image upload popup window doesn't have an option either. Does anyone know where this option is please? Frontend login details in secure tab.
Keep your eyes peeled here -> http://www.rockettheme.com/product-updates as that will be corrected in our RokSprocket 2.1.3 release.
So before we start I want to make sure we both understand the terminology
the <image> alt isn't like a ToolTip so even when its working you won't see it on a valid image. It's only visible when the image doesn't exist in the defined location and the alt is used as a content replacement. It also gets use in e-readers for the the visually impaired.
So in the interim:
1) in the Images & Links section of your article define the alt text and SAVE.
2) Go to ..\templates\rt_vermilion\roksprocket\layouts\features\themes\slideshow and save a copy of item.php
3) in the original file replace the 'alt' parameter with ' alt="<?php echo $item->getPrimaryImage()->getAlttext(); ?>" ' so that it looks like this:
<div class="sprocket-features-img-container" data-slideshow-image> <?php if ($item->getPrimaryLink()) : ?> <a href="<?php echo $item->getPrimaryLink()->getUrl(); ?>"><img src="<?php echo $image->getSource(); ?>" alt="<?php echo $item->getPrimaryImage()->getAlttext(); ?>" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;" /><span class="sprocket-image-overlay"></span></a>
That's it. -

- Will 2.1.13 correct the missing alt attribute in all RokSprocket layouts that load images, including Mosaic layout? I see this thread is specifically about Features, but the problem exists in other layouts like Mosaic. Thanks.
