make[1]: *** [ao_alsa.o] Error 1

Although alsa is installed and identified properly for use during ./configure,
make refuses to build with the following message:

---

I can also forward the complete output of configure, configure.log, and whatever
else you might need me to collect.

Thanks & Best Regards,

Your alsa version is too old, versions older that 0.9.0rc4 are not supported.

You can also add --disable-alsa to the configure line and use e.g. ALSA's OSS
emulation, it works better for most anyway...
