As best as I can tell everything should be working right.  I have
alsa-lib-devel installed, and have the files the following path:
    /usr/lib/libasound.a
    /usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0
    /usr/lib/libasound.la
    /usr/lib/libasound.so
    /usr/lib/libasound.so.2
    /usr/include/alsa/asoundlib.h
    /usr/include/sys/asoundlib.h

When I do my ./configure it also confirms that ALSA support will be
enabled.  However, when I run mythfrontend and put ALSA:spdif into the sound
output device, that's when I get the "Audio output device is set to an ALSA
device but ALSA support is not compiled in!" error.  Here is the output of
my ./configure:

# Basic Settings

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help,

Chris
