actually your record is global. And here again are again some comments
about coding. Defines and constants are in upper case, but not variable
names. So SND is the wrong name. This is C and not C++ or Jave and so
sSound is also a wrong. Use only lower case names and separate them with
a underscore.

Really bad coding style.

The first thing is that these function are for easy handling of address
conversion and so use them. What you do is totally ugly. And what about
the size? How do you link the library? It is a dynamic library.

I don't know enough about the ALSA part, but actually your way is not
portable enough. The ALSA people may change interals, but they will keep
the API and so this is the way to go. If you think the ALSA library is
doing something wrong, then get in touch with them and clean it up.

You can write whatever code you want and use it, but from a maintainer
perspective I will never add such code. And I don't see any problems
with linking some extra libraries.
