Thank you!

I tried it.
The --enable-debug switch doesn't seem to be recognized by "configure". It 
writes :
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-debug
at the beginning of the process.
(Alsa lib sources got from alsa-lib-1.0.24.1.tar.bz2, downloaded from ftp.alsa-
project.org/pub/lib/)

By examining configure, it seems that the option name is now 
--enable-debug-assert (not listed as such in the --usage)

However, according to the documentation, this option seems to include asserts 
calls to check the parameters, but does not compile the whole library with full 
symbolic information. I couldn't get an ALSA lib with debug info this way.

Sorry, but what does it mean?
