Bug Description

Package does contains a libasound.a in 11.10 (e.g. needed to rebuild darkice as static binary).
In 12.04 there is a regression sicne version 1.0.25-1 (looking at changelog) - it does remove the build of the library, however it does make static builds against since library which did work in 11.10 fail now.
Please readd the static build, as its not"useless" - at least some people does use the static libs.

This bug still persists in Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo).

My use case is porting 32-bit x86 assembly that calls ALSA through a C interface. In order to not require modern systems to have to install 32-bit libraries just for this one program, I would like to be able to link statically.
