Description of problem: Due to a bug (typo) in the configure script of alsa-lib, the plugin directory is set to "plugindir" (instead of "/usr/lib/alsa-lib") during the build. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.0.14-1.fc7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install alsa-lib-1.0.14-1.fc7. 2. Try to use a plugin, e.g. the pulseaudio plugin. Actual results: The plugin cannot be used because it won't be found in the non-exististing directory named "plugindir". Expected results: Working plugins. Additional info: Upstream released version 1.0.14a to fix this. Changelog: http://www.alsa-project.org/changes/v1-0-14--v1-0-14a.txt Upstream bug report: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=3148 Please upgrade to 1.0.14a or use the patch from the upstream bug.
Created attachment 160892 [details] Patch to fix plugindir, taken from upstream bug report.
Fixed in alsa-lib-1.0.14-2.fc8, thanks.
Is there any chance to get this released as an update for F7?
it's here - alsa-lib-1.0.14-2.fc7
Installed it from koji, but it doesn't work as expected, unlike my local build which was based on 1.0.14a. I did a bit of research and noticed that the patch only fixes configure.in, which of course won't be used during a normal build process, so that's (partly) my fault. Sorry for the trouble, hoping to get this fixed before the next version of alsa-lib is released... I'll attach a new patch based on the actual diff between the configure files of version 1.0.14 and 1.0.14a.

Don't mind, I'll update to 1.0.14a.
I installed the new rpm from koji, now it is working, thanks. Closing bug again as builds for F7 and F8 were successful within koji.
alsa-lib-1.0.14-2.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

Problem persist. # rpm -q alsa-lib alsa-lib-1.0.14-2.fc7 Please, when patch configure.in update configure script too. previous patch is ~2KiB long :) not much, i think.
it's fixed in alsa-lib-1.0.14-3.fc7 (update to 1.0.14a)
