pacman -Qi alsa-lib tells me that the library is GPL which is not true as it is also LGPL.

I think that when both options are there, it is preferable to choose LGPL, or clearly state that both options are available.

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Changed in svn trunk. COPYING file inside the released tarball specifies LGPL 2.1 or later, so this will be LGPL.
