ALSA stands for Advanced Linux Sound Architecture, so it's specific to 
linux. You won't be able to compile it on windows (using cygwin or mingw). 
You have to use something else for sound on Windows. I've never touched 
the sound on Windows but maybe DirectSound is what you want. Maybe other 
people will give you better advices about what to use.
