Something is broken with either your libasound includes or the cmake cache. If those lines above are the only errors then it apparently finds a very old ALSA header.

My alsa is the newest 1.0.16

my cmake directive is:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/kde4 -DASOUND_LIBRARY=/opt/alsa/lib/libasound.so -DALSA_INCLUDES=/opt/alsa/include -DLIBXML2_LIBRARIES=/usr/lib/libxml2.so -DJPEG_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/image/include -DJPEG_LIBRARY=/opt/image/lib/libjpeg.so -DGIF_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/image/include -DGIF_LIBRARIES=/opt/image/lib/libungif.so -DPNG_PNG_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/image/include -DPNG_LIBRARY=/opt/image/lib/libpng.so -DOPENEXR_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/image/include -DOPENEXR_ILMTHREAD_LIBRARY=/opt/image/lib/libIlmThread.so -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-I/opt/alsa/include -I/opt/image/include" ../kdelibs

It is because -L/opt/alsa/lib/libasound.so, which is bad. Is there any cmake directive to set LDFLAGS in kdelibs? - CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH does not work neither CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS does.

In /opt/alsa/include/alsa/control.h is declared:
int snd_device_name_hint(int card, const char *iface, void ***hints);

In kdelibs/phonon/libkaudiodevicelist/audiodeviceenumerator.cpp:
if (snd_device_name_hint(-1, "pcm", &hints) < 0) {

Sorry I don't know how to help with your setup. And I don't have time to find out.

patch by pusling to fix finding libasound, I wonder why it never broke for me
