apt-get can't find any alsa-devel...

apt-cache search "^alsa-" gave this:
alsa-base - ALSA driver configuration files
alsa-firmware-loaders - ALSA software loaders for specific hardware
alsa-oss - ALSA wrapper for OSS applications
alsa-source - ALSA driver sources
alsa-tools - Console based ALSA utilities for specific hardware
alsa-tools-gui - GUI based ALSA utilities for specific hardware
alsa-utils - Utilities for configuring and using ALSA

maybe alsa-utils?
