Oh.. you can install alsa-lib without actually configuring and using
Alsa for the audio.  It a question of either depending on it or having
two packages (or rewriting Ogle to dynamically detect and use Alsa).

Direct link to alsa-lib rpm:

Well, to compile software you need developer version of all the packages.
These contain the header files and the .so (no version suffix) that enable
