That will break sound on BSD.

I think we should do something like this instead:

--- a/configure
+++ b/configure
@@ -554,7 +554,7 @@ Haiku)
   LIBS="-lposix_error_mapper -lnetwork $LIBS"
 ;;
 *)
-  audio_drv_list="oss"
+  audio_drv_list="pa alsa oss"
   audio_possible_drivers="oss alsa sdl esd pa"
   linux="yes"
   linux_user="yes"

i.e. build pulseaudio and alsa by default on linux and prioritize them
over oss.

cheers,
