Yes, that's the reason why a simple "Requires: alsa" won't work.

/usr/%{_lib} is usually referred to as %{_libdir} .

I think (2) is worse, because it is a workaround rather than a fix.

Ah - yes, I wrongly assumed that on IA64 the provided symbol would also be
libaoss.so.0 . So, to make it work on IA64 as well, change the %if line to:

%if "%_lib" == "lib64" || "%_arch" == "ia64"

BTW, how about actually linking Firefox to libaoss.so, so that the automatic
dependency checking handles it?
