Where do I begin?

Where do I begin?

[Tim Hollingsworth]

Hi

I'm a bit of a newbie here.  I'm trying to write a PCM application 
using alsa 1.x.  Firstly, is there an up to date howto or tutorial on 
this?  I am currently using the ALSA 0.9.0 HOWTO from the ALSA dev 
page:

http://www.suse.de/~mana/alsa090_howto.html

*nothing* works.  The header files mentioned in the howto 
(alsa/libasound.h) don't exist in my system.  I am running debian, have 
installed:

alsa-base		1.0.2c-3
alsa-headers	1.0.2c-3
alsa-source	1.0.2c-3

I tried including sound/asound.h.  Compile chokes on the first 
declaration:

udpServer.c:24: error: parse error before '*' token

snd_pcm_t *pcm_handle;

Where do I start?

TIA
Tim

Looks like you're missing libasound2-dev?

don't use sound/*.h files.  they are ALSA kernel header files, and
only the hardware-specific applications may use them.
