But --prefix=XXX overrides the path embedded in the code.  For
installing to another root, passing DESTDIR=XXX at make install is the
standard procedure.

This is a different thing.  Now the system files are properly set and
alsa-lib reads them.  But, the driver returns an error for the
required PCM setting.

Try to set $LIBASOUND_DEBUG to 1.  Then each hw_params error will be
displayed to stderr.  See alsa-lib/NOTES for details.
