Where is alsa-lib supposed to be: /etc or /usr/share?

[Neil Bird]

   After upgrading to FC5, I've had issues with alsa;  a lot of apps. fail to 
work, and a common failure is like this from mplayer:

ALSA lib conf.c:2841:(snd_config_hook_load) cannot access file 
/usr/share/alsa/cards/aliases.conf


   But alisaes.conf (alsa-lib RPM) is and always has been in /etc/alsa. 
Where'd this request for /usr/share/alsa come from?

   I've symlinked /etc/alsa/* to /usr/share/alsa/* and that seems to get most 
things running, but it's not entirely happy.
