I think you're stuck using some kind of numeric or series method. If a is anything other than pi/2 (so the integrand is just x/(1+sinx)) it does not have a solution in elementary functions. Mosey on over to

and take a peek. If you change the coefficient of sinx to anything other than 1, you get monstrous complex answers.
