installing a deb package

[Lorenzo Taylor]

Was there an enable-alsa or similar option in the configuration?  It may be
disabled by default, though one douldn't think so.  Also, you may be missing
libasound2-dev.  Try

apt-get install libasound2-dev

as this is the development libraries for alsa.  This will allow your source to
compile with alsa support.
