Did you click on the details link? It seems like you have alsa installed 
correctly but as you made a mistake with the -lib and -utils packages it 
would be a good idea to install the entire set from scratch again if you 
haven't already.

Sorry, you should be use the latest timidity as it is much improved. 
However as you couldn't compile it before and xine is also giving you 
problems it seems like you have something wrong with your compile system.

Which gcc are you using? Do you have all the various -devel rpms 
installed? When I was using rpm systems getting those installed 
correctly was always one of the most annoying problems for me.

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! 
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything 
I've ever done.
