Ho, are you trying to write a package definition for a package that
tries to locate libasound_module_pcm_equal.so? In that case,
ALSA_PLUGIN_DIR won't help you: it works only when alsa-lib and its
plugins are installed in the same directory, as with system and user
profiles. This is not the case in during a build though. Do you mind
sharing you recipe so far? We might be able to help you better that way.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand. What are you trying to achieve?
Also, what model are you talking about? What are these packages and why
couldn't they be part of the system?
