Great thanks.  Probably the problem was not doing make distclean.
Tried
doing this and got into a bit of trouble so re-downloaded with svn.
Re compiled, now alsa works.

So tried an mp4 file, the original problem.  The sound was alright
suggesting
the original problem is solved.  But as it happens there is no video:
