Have you tried to build minimal alsa library? --disable-aload disable reading /dev/aload* --disable-mixer Disable the mixer component --disable-pcm Disable the PCM component --disable-rawmidi Disable the raw MIDI component --disable-hwdep Disable the hwdep component --disable-seq Disable the sequencer component --disable-instr Disable the instrument component --disable-alisp Disable the alisp component --with-pcm-plugins=<list> Build PCM plugins Note that only hw plugin is important for pcm if applications will do all conversions itself. Just quick test with: ./configure --disable-aload --disable-mixer --disable-rawmidi --disable-hwdep --disable-seq --disable-instr --disable-alisp --with-pcm-plugins=hw strip -g --remove-section=.comment --remove-section=.note libasound.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 perex users 366562 2006-12-09 09:22 libasound.so.2.0.0 It does not look so bad, doesn't?

The best thing is to discuss what else can be shrinked (removed from build). If embedded platform developers stay quiet, we won't care. For example, all dynamic configuration code can be removed, too.
