Is it possible for instance to install libasound-dbg on Ubuntu 11.04?
That should be possible, yes. Or just build the library yourself and redirect your linker to take the self-compiled library rather than the system-wide instance.
Thank you very much for your answer. Would you be kind enough to tell me how to build this debug version? Is it possible through configure / make, or does it need modifying the generated makefiles by hand?
call
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-debug && make
This should do the installation - depending on your prefix location, you might to run this as root:
$ make install
Then let your LD_LIBRARY_PATH point to your modified lib and read http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html for more information. Or just use the binary Ubuntu packages and be done.
I understand perfectly. If it's not due to a problem in my project's option or my ALSA settings, then it's definitely a bug either in the ALSA code, or in the Firefox plugin management. As soon as I can follow the calls with a debugger, I'll be able to answer this question that bothers me for one full week now .
I'd rather put it that way: If it was a bug in the alsa lib that is so easy to trigger, you wouldn't be the first one to discover it :)
