Hello, Today I switched back to alsa 0.9 (downgraded everything that had to do with alsa 1.0 as far as I can tell) but still, alsa is detected as available: checking alsa/asoundlib.h usability... yes checking alsa/asoundlib.h presence... yes checking for alsa/asoundlib.h... yes checking for snd_pcm_open in -lasound... yes And wine breaks when compiling wine alsa - then it does all the compiling again as dependencies are assumed to be wrong -- finally breaking again at the same place; Are you sure your configuration patch tests for those failing functions? I attached a log of it failing with wine 0.9 - maybe you have to test for some (all??) of those? If you have reason to think I forgot something when downgrading, please tell me what it was (I'm using debian/stable - with added unofficial alsa packages, of http://afavant.elte.hu/~wferi/lilypond/, as suggested earlier on the list ) regards, Joris
