I think you're out of luck.  ALSA stands for Advanced *Linux* Sound 
Architecture so the chances of getting it to build and run on anything
other than Linux with little effort isn't likely.  It's tied to the 
Linux kernel, as the above configure message implies.  Cygwin is great 
but it will never be Linux. ;-)
