AM_PATH_ALSA is defined in the alsa-lib source code, utils/alsa.m4. So
when we install alsa-lib, it should also install alsa.m4
in $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/share/aclocal, so that when the autoreconf of
alsa-utils is done, it finds it.

BTW, what about joining #buildroot on IRC to do live discussion ? :-)
