# scanelf -n /usr/bin/alsaplayer 
 TYPE   NEEDED FILE 
ET_EXEC libpthread.so.0,libdl.so.2,libstdc++.so.6,libm.so.6,libgcc_s.so.1,libc.so.6 /usr/bin/alsaplayer 

Since it's also exporting the symbols it would be nice if it used the shared object.

yep, what's the point in building shared library if it's not used even by the application itself?

actually where do you see it linking statically to libalsaplayer.{a,so}? it's one .c and one .h file for "external control of alsaplayer"...

i believe this bug report is false
