Re: writing user program for alsa under fedora core 1

[Apostolos Dimitromanolakis <apostolos@aei.ca>]

The Fedora Core should have some RPM with the ALSA header files.  Since 
it is not installed, try looking in the CDs with whatever tool Fedora 
provides for searching the RPMS.  From a quick look at the names of the 
RPMS I cannot find where the ALSA header files are but since I do not 
run Fedora I can't help you further.  If it is nowhere then it is a 
problem/bug w/the Fedora and not your fault.
