Bug Description

When packaging the (upcoming) 2.1 version of mixxx I noticed that `scons` does require the presence of asound/alsa libraries but does not check for their existence. As a result of the missing check, a lot of other checks for libraries, which are all installed, fail.

Mixxx does not directly interface with ALSA. It accesses audio interfaces through the PortAudio library. I am doubtful that Mixxx's build system should explicitly check for ALSA libraries because I think that should be done by PortAudio.

In config.log I can see that `gcc ... -lasound` is used for checks.

Ah, that's a transitive dependency of portaudio-2.0:

$ pkg-config portaudio-2.0 --libs
-lportaudio -lasound -lm -lpthread

Be is right, Mixxx itself doesn't require libasound.
