Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.0_rc1
2. emerge media-libs/libsdl-1.2.6-r2
3.

Actual Results:  
Emerge fails when compiling alsa driver for sdl.

Expected Results:  
libSDL would be built correctly with alsa support enabled

I get exactly the same problem as mentioned.

My hardware is Nforce2 3000+ Athlon XP, so I suspect it is not relevant at all the
the amd64 hardware mentioned in the original post.

putting -alsa in your make.conf or export use="-alsa" works i realise that it
does  not help exactly with alsa but it will allow you to build the libsdl.

From the NOTES in alsa-lib-1.0.0rc2:

    From the binary compatibility view, there is no change.  For compilation,
    1.0 ALSA applications do not need any change.  The older applications
    must use this include sequence:

    #define ALSA_PCM_OLD_HW_PARAMS_API
    #define ALSA_PCM_NEW_HW_PARAMS_API
    #include <alsa/asoundlib.h>

... which seems as though it might be the problem.

Created an attachment (id=21842) [details]
patch w/ necessary definitions to allow for compilation w/ alsa-lib-1.0.0

The fix is exactly as the poster explained above.  Just a few ifdefs/defines.  

I've created an eclass fixes this in a more general way (rather then having to
create a crapload of package/version specific patches)- bug #35412.

  08 Dec 2003; Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> :
  Add patch to work with alsa-1.0.0 #35049.
