Frequently Asked Questions

I want to compile with Alsa but configure fails - what do I need?

Most likely, you are missing the header files for the alsa library (libasound) or even the library itself.

DistroNeeded packages
Debian / Ubuntulibasound2, libasound2-dev

No sound on my AMD64 / x86_64 machine!

See bug 1547470. There is an issue with alsa < 1.0.13 that breaks mpg123 when compiled with 64bits (on this platform only?). So just upgrade alsa and it should be fine.
