I think you just need libasound
Ok guys, I am working on it with my webhost. I am not sure how I can install an RPM on their box, so I submitted a ticket.
Actually I don't think that any sound plugin would work, because the 32-bit binaries will not be available. But you don't need sound at all on a server, do you?
You lost me on 32-bit binaries not being available. I found alsa-lib-1.0.13.tar.bz2 and I am preparing to build it.
My error said: /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib64/libasound.so when searching for -lasound /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib64/libasound.a when searching for -lasound
So it looks like I need a .so and a .a file. As rusty as I am on building for unix, are these static libs or shared libs? I do need to figure out how to cross compile to a 32bit system. I am researching this for the right target. I need i386-linux or something. I am attaching the config.guess file they use for this. Can anyone give me a helpful hand what I should specify doing ...
'./configure --enable-shared=no --enable-static=yes
--target=i386-linux'
Damn! I can't figure out how to change the install path to other than /usr/include, etc. I can't write to those directories. I am stuck.
Try ./configure --help or check if you can pass a parameter to make. If none of those work, check if you can change it by setting an environment variable. I think it's better if you build the VM without sound first. And if you have spare time then try to build a plugin for sound playback.

Regarding your observation that I don't need sound on a server, that is spot on. It may be too entangled for the time being.
Is it possible to unentangle sound?
Thanks, Rob
