Using alsa library on Linux
1
Ubuntu 18.04
I'm very new to sounds programming in Linux and I'm trying to work with ALSA library. I have alsa-library installed on my machine as follows:
/dev/snd$ sudo apt-file list libasound2
libasound2: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libasound.so.2
libasound2: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libasound.so.2.0.0
libasound2: /usr/share/doc/libasound2/NEWS.Debian.gz
libasound2: /usr/share/doc/libasound2/changelog.Debian.gz
libasound2: /usr/share/doc/libasound2/copyright
libasound2: /usr/share/doc/libasound2/examples/asoundrc.txt.gz
The problem is that my header files
ll /usr/include/sound/
total 208
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 15 07:06 ./
drwxr-xr-x 41 root root 4096 Nov 11 10:26 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21847 Oct 23 17:44 asequencer.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19132 Oct 23 17:44 asoc.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4377 Oct 23 17:44 asound_fm.h

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1939 Oct 23 17:44 usb_stream.h
are completely different from what is specified in the documentation Files section. For instance no conf.h header and as a consuqence no
struct snd_devname_t;
definition. Alsa version I got from the alsa-info script is
!!ALSA Version
!!------------
Driver version: k4.15.0-36-generic
Library version: 1.1.3
Utilities version: 1.1.3
the latest one currently available.
Should I install some other package to get the all includes available? I did some file search
$ find / -name alsa 2>/dev/null
/etc/default/alsa
/etc/apm/scripts.d/alsa
/run/alsa
/usr/share/alsa
/usr/share/sounds/alsa

/usr/src/linux-headers-4.15.0-34-generic/include/config/thinkpad/acpi/alsa

and did not notice them.
