I've double checked that the header files are present:
$ ls -1 /opt/staging/alsa/var/share/include/alsa/
alisp.h
asoundef.h
asoundlib.h
conf.h
control_external.h
control.h
error.h
global.h
hwdep.h
iatomic.h
input.h
mixer_abst.h
mixer.h
output.h
pcm_external.h
pcm_extplug.h
pcm.h
pcm_ioplug.h
pcm_old.h
pcm_plugin.h
pcm_rate.h
rawmidi.h
seq_event.h
seq.h
seqmid.h
seq_midi_event.h
sound/
timer.h
version.h


Thoughts?  Thanks - Dave
