duplicated the required alsa-kernel header files into the local

include/sound directory, so that alsa-lib can be compiled without
alsa-driver.

with this addition, --with-kernel and --with-soundbase options are
removed from configure.  they are obviously unnecessary.

the relevant parts in INSTALL are removed/modified.

@@ -10,37 +10,6 @@ For installation you can use these commands:
 	./configure
 	make install
 
-If ./configure command complain that alsa-driver package is not installed,

-Installation using a build-in version of ALSA in Linux kernel
--------------------------------------------------------------
-
-If you use a kernel build-in version of ALSA, use:
-
-	./configure --with-kernel=<version>
-	make install
-
-The directory /lib/modules/<version>/build/include/sound must exists for
-this kind of configuration.
-
-You may also specify the full-base for ALSA kernel headers:
-
-	./configure --with-soundbase=<path_to_linux_include_dir>
-	make install
-
-example:
-
-	./configure --with-soundbase=/usr/src/linux-2.5.5/include
-	make install

 Compilation from CVS sources
 ----------------------------
@@ -82,30 +51,16 @@ When you would like to cross-compile ALSA library (e.g. compile on
 i686 host but for arm architecture) you will need to call ./configure
 script with aditional parameters:
 
-CC=arm-linux-gcc ./configure --target=arm-linux \
+CC=arm-linux-gcc ./configure --target=arm-linux
---with-soundbase=/usr/local/arm/src/linux/include
 
 In this example host where the library is build is guessed (should be
 given with --host=platform) and target for which is the library build is
-Linux on ARM architecture. You need to specify location of kernel includes
+Linux on ARM architecture.  You should ommit setting 'CC' variable and
-configured for target architecture. This is used to find ALSA include
+cross-compiler will be guessed too.
-files and so it should be set to prefix where '/sound' directory should
-be found. You should ommit setting 'CC' variable and cross-compiler will
-be guessed too. You could also use option '--prefix' to specify ALSA include
-directory directly if $prefix/include/sound exists.
 
 So simplest version would be:
 
-./configure --target=arm-linux --with-soundbase=/usr/local/arm/include
+./configure --target=arm-linux
-
-or
-
-./configure --target=arm-linux --prefix=/usr/local/arm

-As you will likely specify the prefix, the last posibbility would be
-the best if everything match. On the listing of 'configure' script
-check if directory with ALSA headers was found properly same as platform
-specific configurations like processor type and selected cross-compiler. 
 
 For platform names in the form cpu-vendor-os (or aliases for this)
 you should look in 'config.guess' script. Target and all paths
