alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #33 was opened from seb128:

One build log from Ubuntu (1.1.9 but the current version has the same issue) https://launchpadlibrarian.net/462093809/buildlog_ubuntu-focal-amd64.alsa-li...

The Ubuntu package has been fixed with that change http://launchpadlibrarian.net/462101751/alsa-lib_1.2.1.2-2_1.2.1.2-2ubuntu1....

The issue/needed changed is explained on https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.8.html

To embed Python into an application, a new --embed option must be passed to python3-config --libs --embed to get -lpython3.8 (link the application to libpython). To support both 3.8 and older, try python3-config --libs --embed first and fallback to python3-config --libs (without --embed) if the previous command fails.

The Ubuntu patch doesn't have that fallback logic though which is why I'm not proposing it with a merge request
