alsaplayer configure says Build alsa 0.9.x output plugin: no

[Timur Tabi]

I have a working ALSA driver on my system.  I downloaded the latest alsaplayer 
and when I ran ./configure, it says this:

   Build alsa 0.9.x output plugin:     no

I looked at the source code for configure, and I found this:

  if (eval "$ac_cpp conftest.$ac_ext") 2>&5 |
   $EGREP "AP_maGiC_VALUE" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
   have_alsa_final=yes

But I don't understand it.

What do I need to have to get alsaplayer to build ALSA output support?

Works for me.  Better to ask alsaplayer maintainer?

Should we sent a (friendly) request to the revived alsaplayer folk to maybe 
consider a name change? AlsaPlayer these days doesn't have anything more to 
do with ALSA than any other Linux media player does it seems but its name is 
confusing people into thinking that "alsaplayer" is the standard player for 
ALSA or something -- I've experienced that a number of times now.

Not that I care deeply myself or anything, but to help newbies...

Well, I myself don't care.  Similarly, there are many *alsamix*
programs that are out of official ALSA tree...
