With

I have sound in my 2.57. That is fine for a private build, but
otherwise... hm.
No I have build a 2.57 with these options
# ac_add_options --disable-pulseaudio
ac_add_options --enable-alsa
The entry with pulseaudio is commented out and therefore not active. As
expected the build failed with
0:12.71 checking MOZ_ALSA_LIBS... -lasound
0:12.72 checking for libpulse... Package libpulse was not found in the
pkg-config search path.
0:12.72 Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libpulse.pc'
0:12.72 to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
0:12.72 No package 'libpulse' found
0:12.72 configure: error: pulseaudio audio backend requires libpulse
development package
So I installed pulseaudio. That does not mean that I could hear sound
using pulseausio, though. *g*
This time the build succeeded. No sound in this build. So I removed
pulseaudio and tried again. Success. With this build sound should work
on Linux using alsa.
But what with a system using pulseaudio? If there are Linux users using
pulseaudio, it would be nice, if someone tested this build for sound.
E.g. using youtube. Remember, that in 2.57 the MailNews part does not
work. Only the browser should be tested.
WARNING!
Don't use an existing profile. Use a new one. Unpack the .tar.bz2
somewhere in $HOME, navigate to the appropriate place and start the
build with ./seamonkey -no-remote -p. This opens the 2.57 into the
profile manager where you can create a new profile and start it there.
The -no-remote part is in case you have already another SM running.

I tried to test this for you on my openSUSE LEAP 15.0 system but your
build needs glibc 2.27 and I only have 2.26 so it won't run.
