Thanks ! I guess Juergen's suggestion would be of general: a plugin should be able to link to libasound with -lasound without the need that the plugin itself is linked/dlopen()'ed with RTLD_GLOBAL. With increasing adoption of ALSA, we'll see such a scenario more and more...
On the practical side - how can I solve the problem ? I can't change the way my plugin is linked to the main app, so do I need to manually dlopen() libasound myself with the RTLD_GLOBAL flag (and not use -lasound ??)
