Fwiw, I've done some alsa-lib builds (no debug) for ARM with the following results :- Default config -rwxr-xr-x 1 liam liam 948879 Dec 7 16:40 libasound.so.2.0.0 --disable-aload --disable-rawmidi --disable-pcm --disable-hwdep --disable-seq --disable-instr --disable-alisp --with-pcm-plugins=hw -rwxr-xr-x 1 liam liam 256320 Dec 9 12:39 libasound.so.2.0.0 --disable-mixer --disable-aload --disable-rawmidi --disable-pcm --disable-hwdep --disable-seq --disable-instr --disable-alisp --with-pcm-plugins=hw -rwxr-xr-x 1 liam liam 190884 Dec 9 13:08 libasound.so.2.0.0 This final configurations objects can be broken down as follows:- 645 Dec 9 13:59 ./src/compat/.libs/empty.o 2384 Dec 9 13:59 ./src/control/.libs/cards.o 5008 Dec 9 13:59 ./src/control/.libs/control_ext.o 9448 Dec 9 13:59 ./src/control/.libs/control_hw.o 57864 Dec 9 13:59 ./src/control/.libs/control.o 10712 Dec 9 13:59 ./src/control/.libs/control_shm.o 655 Dec 9 13:59 ./src/control/.libs/control_symbols.o 19456 Dec 9 13:59 ./src/control/.libs/hcontrol.o 13144 Dec 9 13:59 ./src/control/.libs/setup.o 3864 Dec 9 13:59 ./src/.libs/async.o 19468 Dec 9 13:59 ./src/.libs/confmisc.o 49540 Dec 9 13:59 ./src/.libs/conf.o 2864 Dec 9 13:59 ./src/.libs/dlmisc.o 3000 Dec 9 13:59 ./src/.libs/error.o 4324 Dec 9 13:59 ./src/.libs/input.o 3608 Dec 9 13:59 ./src/.libs/names.o 4536 Dec 9 13:59 ./src/.libs/output.o 1668 Dec 9 13:59 ./src/.libs/shmarea.o 2768 Dec 9 13:59 ./src/.libs/socket.o 1436 Dec 9 13:59 ./src/.libs/userfile.o It looks like some further size reduction can probably be achieved by disabling or reducing features in the conf code for embedded devices as most only have a single sound card with only one stereo pcm for playback and capture.
