Libao, aRts, OSS, Esound, Sndio, all work on i386. On macppc, only AO and Sndio
seem to work. aRts was not tested, since qt3 doesn't build, so unable to build 
aRts.
Tested OSS and Esound, but with both, nothing happens, when I press the play 
button.
AO and Sndio are Thread based output bundles, the others not, maybe there is a
difference somewhere? Maybe bug in gnustep libs?
