This "bug" is mostly causes by in-correct install of alsa.
In order to install alsa, you must first compile and install your own
kernel.
Once the kernel is installed and running, you can then compile and
install alsa-driver.
Once you have alsa-driver installed, with all the modules, you can then
compile and install alsa-lib.
Also, the kernel must be compiled with the same compiler as the 
alsa-driver modules. E.g. You cannot have compiled the kernel with gcc 
2.95 and compile alsa-driver with gcc 3.2. Using different compilers 
causes all sorts of strange un-predictable problems. I took a few days 
once tried to track down a kernel oops, only to find that simply 
compiling both kernel and kernel-module with the same compiler fixed the 
issue.
That should solve all "unresolved symbols".
