Found the problem.  kdemultimedia compiled on my box and the multimedia 
components work now.  The problem is a known KDE bug -  
http://bugs.kde.org/db/27/27332.html.  After putting in the fix, everything 
compiled well.  The two fixes are:

  Grant's motif_p.c fix - Add #include <sys/errno.h> to the top of motif_p.c

  KDE's fix is to modify line 257 of alsa_a.cpp
  Replace static int set_playback_info (void* handle__, .......  )
  with       static int set_playback_info (snd_pcm_t* handle__, ....... )

I'd give you a diff, but have never done one and figured you would probably 
want to run through this one anyway.

Thanks for a great distribution.
