FATAL_ERROR: No valid sound driver

Hi I get the same problem as the prior dude
when trying to launch executable mocp
FATAL_ERROR: No valid sound driver

answer to that problem was to add alsa dev files.
I use ubuntu and I only find this package with apt-get:

libasound2-dev - ALSA library development files

after installing this i still have no ALSA :(

I get this when doing ./configure

MOC will be compiled with:
Decoder plugins:
OSS: yes
ALSA: no
JACK: no
DEBUG: yes
RCC:
Network streams: no
Resampling: no

Well its obvious that i have no alsa support
How come the configure script choose OSS over ALSA per default ? ALSA is the future for linux, why not disable OSS or at least make it optional.

You will find moc in Ubuntu universe. Just apt-get install moc and all dependencies like ALSA will be installed on your system.

I know, but ubuntu feisty offers version 2.4.1
With that version I get that mp3 crackling bug.

I want to install newest stable version 2.4.3 from source.

More information why it fails to build ALSA is in config.log. You can send me this file (daper at daper dot net), so I can probably tell you the reason.

Oh, and it alsa says no plugins are compiled, so you need much more -dev packages for vorbis, libid3tag, libmad etc.
