Takashi,
You were right, it was a linking issue. I'm doing cross-compiling for a target of different processor type. I just had to make sure I'm pointing to the right location for the includes and libs.
Thanks,
Ben

snd_pcm_hw_params_get_xxx functions to retrieve some values. I got everything to
work as expected on alsa-lib 1.0.15. However the client's setup is
1.0.13, and I don't think they want to upgrade.

I was expecting the return value to be a status, and val to contain
"44100" which was the case for 1.0.15. However for 1.0.13, val is 0, but
returned status = 44100?

1.0.15 in regards to this function. Am I accidentally using some sort of
old API that was intended for backward compatibility? If so, what should
I do to use the "new" API's?
Yes, it sounds like you're accessing the old API. Do you use
libasound from a module? If it's used from a module, the module
itself should be built once with link to libasound. For example,
$(CC) -shared -o MODULE.so -lasound
In such a way, the properly versioned symbol is chosen. The weak link
results in the old API. This is irrelveant whether it's ALSA 1.0.13
or 1.0.15.
