Ok. So, just to see if I understand correctly: I need libasound library, both on 32b and 64b. Before, you just had to install the lib32asound and libasound packages; libasound would to go /lib and lib32asound would go to /emul/lib32, so 64b programs would use the 64b library, and the 32b would use the 32b.
