You have to look into configure.log, search for "Checking for ALSA audio", and
either understand or post the lines until "#####" here. (You need
libasound-devel or similar.)

configure's output should tell you that you can get no support here if you use
"--enable-alsa" (it will also make configure.log useless).

I don't remember atm (you probably need libvbe and vbe.h), but I strongly
suspect you don't want to: The recommended vo's are gl:yuv=2, xv and vdpau for
newer Nvidia cards.

Please fix your line length, Carl Eugen
