Hmm, I'm running alsa with no trouble here in RedHat land. ./configure finds alsa automatically. (If it doesn't, the media menu won't show it.) So perhaps this is some new way of configuring alsa that I don't know about?
You aren't running a 2.6 kernel by any chance, are you? Alsa might work differently there than in 2.4... in which case I'll have to load 2.6 and try it out here.

I've tried alsa with pd-37 on 2 separate machines and 3 different soundcards. On each of them, alsa is working and I can play sound with apps such as xmms or aplay. However, with pd-37, alsa doesn't work at all.
sb audigy: alsa doesn't work, hangs pd. oss over alsa works on an sb audigy. jack also works.
RME hammerfall: alsa doesn't work, hangs pd. oss over alsa hangs pd. jack works fine.
ess 1968: alsa deosn't work, hangs pd. oss over alsa doesn't work, hangs pd. jack doesn't work (because of jackd problems with this card).
before, alsa was working fine with all of them. I also get a number of alsa compile problems with pd-37.
