I'm always sad to hear about people experiencing dependancy hell. 
Fortunately for me, my distro isolates me from this problem.  gconfig
works just fine for me; any screwing about with pkgconfig must have
been done under the covers.  I gave up on the built in alsa, switched
back to the(now deprecated) OSS support for my sound card, and for the
moment at least I'm now running on 2.6.0-test1
