I am currently having the following problem with Csound5. Trying to
output Toot1 with the command csound -+rtaudio=alsa -o dac:hw:0,0
gives me this error:

*** error: unknown rtaudio module: 'alsa'
Failed to initialise real time audio output

If I want to render to disk, there's no problem. I had no problems
building Csound5. In the terminal as it built, I read that it included
portaudio and alsa. My PortAudio is pa_snapshot_v19.tar.
bin/patest_sine worked fine. Alsaplayer works fine. I've edited
csoundrc as Istan Varga described Fri, 04 Mar 2005:

To enable use of the ALSA plugin, add this line to $HOME/.csoundrc:
   -+rtaudio=alsa

My Csound5 is from csound5-2005-08-27.zip. My alsa is 1.0.9b. My
kernel is 2.6.12-gentoo-r6. Am I making some other mistake? I'm not
sure myself how to further troubleshoot this. I've read in the
csound-devel archive that others (Steven Yi) got this to work. How do
I get it to work?
