I've had no such luck with compiling this plugin. The error spit at me is below.
Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x1c09)!
ALSA sets the main volume to full blast and the emu croaks before making a peep.
I'd prefer to use this plugin, because I have a feeling that the sound will actually sound OK, and not run out of control, or too slow, like every other plugin I've tried. All the other features seem to work except sound.
I'm running Debian Unstable with 2.6.0-pre9(whichever alsa is in there), gcc version 3.3.3 and alsa-lib-0.9.8 on an older SBlive.
