[Pkg-alsa-devel] Alsa-utils autoconf/configure build flags issue

[Bryan Hanks]

To whom it may concern,

Alsa-utils has an inconsistency in the usable configure flags when
compared to alsa-lib. For instance, if the alsa-lib has been compiled
with the --disabled-seq flag, alsa-utils will fail to build due to
unresolved symbol references. Adding the --disable-seq to the alsa-utils
doesn't fix the problem as it still tries to build the seq utilities
regardless. In fact, from looking in the debian/rules file that
dpkg-buildpackage calls, configure has the following flags:

--disable-rawmidi --disable-seq --disable-instr --disable-alsactl   

Looking through configure and configure.in none of these flags appear to
be valid configuration options. 

I'm working on a embedded project where we build alsa-lib with
--disable-seq and --disable-instr flags. Currently without a local hack,
there is no way to build alsa-utils in a similar manner. We are using
alsa-lib 1.0.14 with alsa-utils 1.0.14. Is this something that can be
fixed in the upstream version of alsa-utils?
