On my really, really tiny busybox environment (this router I have here) busybox itself is dynamic -- it's linked again uClibc. You don't need all the utilities, you don't even need all the plugins -- mostly what you want is libasound.so. My router here seems to have the bulk of the libraries that libasound links against in its /lib.

Create a libasound.a that you link against but leave everything else dynamic. Although it's probably as easy to put libasound.so in your small environment. I would be surprised if you saved that much space by linking statically, libasound is pretty big and I wouldn't be at all surprised if most of it didn't get pulled in by a static link. jch ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
