I installed the libasound2-dev package. 
I got mainly :
- a bunch of C header files in /usr/include
- libasound.a, libasound.la and libasound.so in /usr/lib
(none of these libraries include the debugging symbols)

I tried "aptitude search libasound*"
and got:
libasound-dev
libasound2
libasound2-dev
libasound2-doc
libasound2-plugin-equal
libasound2-plugins

but no libasound2-dbg.
Any idea about where (and how) I can get it? (using Ubuntu 11.04)

Regards,
Olivier
