You may better to build SALSA with --enable-libasound configure
option.  This will create a symlink to libasound.so, which makes
easier for apps to detect the library.

Then, for alsa-utils, use --with-alsa-inc-prefix=$ROOT/usr/include
and --with-alsa-prefix=$ROOT/usr/lib configure options.

Also, don't install both alsa-lib and salsa-lib on the same system.
Especially the confliction of development files should be avoided.
