When in doubt with Linux packages, install from sources, ./configure, make,
make install. That will usually install any libs and headers in expected
places. ALSA might be different because it is a kernel driver as well as a
lib. I installed the basic parts of Planet CCRMA and recommend that - it's
intended specially for computer music. It had good instructions for
installing ALSA. The next release of Linux will come with ALSA already built
into the kernel - very good news for computer musicians.
