Install ALSA Library by running the following commands:
./configure && make && make install |
As with most libraries, there is no configuration to do, save that the library directory i.e. /opt/lib or /usr/local/lib should appear in /etc/ld.so.conf so that ldd can find the shared libraries. After checking that this is the case, /sbin/ldconfig should be run while logged in as root.
The ALSA Library package contains aserver and the libasound library.
libasound provides ALSA functions for application programs.
