Your problem is not with AlsaData, the actual problem is the line above: the
offsetof macro not being defined.

Apparently, your build environment ignores macros, both from standard system
headers and from ffmpeg's own headers:

> libavdevice/alsa-audio-dec.c:135: error: ‘AV_OPT_TYPE_INT’ undeclared
> libavdevice/alsa-audio-dec.c:149: warning: implicit declaration of

I have no idea how it can happen, nor where to start to solve it. Good luck.
