did you try ./configure before trying aclocal ?
AM_PATH_ALSA is defined in the alsa.m4 file which comes with alsalib...
it is also defined in aclocal.m4, but if you want to run aclocal 
yoursel, you'll need to have alsa.m4 installed on your computer, so that 
aclocal can put AM_PATH_ALSA into your aclocal.m4.
If you have alsa.m4 installed, you may need to specify the directory 
with the -I option to aclocal:
$ aclocal -i /path/to/your/alsa.m4_file/

here it manages to call AM_PATH_ALSA... is that the output of your 
configure, or the one on cvs ?

strange...
if it is the output of your rebuilt configure, what is the error of the 
original one ?
because if some of the autotool steps failed, chances are high that the 
output configure script is corrupt...

it seems as it couldn't find AC_PATH_MUSTUX to insert it into configure, 
so the function call remains...
AC_PATH_MUSTUX is defined in mustux.m4, and gets installed under 
$prefix/share/aclocal/, so you need to add this path to aclocal with the 
-I option
