Just had time to check on it (I removed it when it failed without midi support
enabled, now I tried installing it on another box), with USE=-alsa dosbox
doesn't actually disable ALSA support, see the attached log, and note this:

checking for ALSA CFLAGS...  -Ino
checking for ALSA LDFLAGS...  -Lno -lasound -lm -ldl -lpthread

HTH,
Diego

diego is right, dosbox always binds to alsa if it finds it.

may it be a solution to patch config.in and run autoconf again?

-AM_PATH_ALSA(0.9.0, AC_DEFINE(HAVE_ALSA,1,[Define to 1 to use ALSA for MIDI])
, : )
+AC_ARG_ENABLE(alsa,AC_HELP_STRING([--enable-alsa],[Enable ALSA for MIDI]),[
+       AM_PATH_ALSA(0.9.0, AC_DEFINE(HAVE_ALSA,1,[Define to 1 to use ALSA for
MIDI]) , : )
+])

hmmmm, nope, not good enough.  Still pulls in alsa even with this patch and
--disable-alsa

You misunderstood the parameters of AC_ARG_ENABLE, see [1], third last
parameter.Also see [2] for other example on how to fix this kind of dependency.

the next release of dosbox will have the autotool stuff fixed up.  Forced alsa
on for now.
