You need to install the alsa-lib-devel package.

There is a newer package available (1.0-68_snap20090419.fc10).

Try

yum-builddep mplayer

so your system installs all of the required build dependencies needed
for mplayer, then try again building from source. yum-builddep is part
of yum-utils, if it isn't installed on your system.
