Someone on this list told me that enabling alsa in configure actually DISables alsa. Alsa should be built by default if you were just to do ./configure, right? Ive done ./configure --enable-jack etc... on fedora core running 2.6.3 and pd 0.37-1test6 I think. I have alsa support built into pd, no prob, with out explicitly selecting -enable-alsa...
...not working with my hammerfall multiface though... :P
Sorry if this doesnt pertain to this discussion, just my 2 cents...
