If cmake doesnt find ALSA, OSS, JACK, etc. it wont build any audio drivers. 
There are even cmake options like -Denable-jack=0 that you can use to force 
cmake not to build those audio drivers. I dont see why you need a special build 
config for that.

The synth is multithreaded. There is a macro ENABLE_MIXER_THREADS that you 
could turn off, that would spare you the implementation of condition variables. 
But the rest of fluidsynth still needs a thread and mutex implementation.

glib is our OSAL, making it a hard dependency. It wont disappear. You dont even 
need to build glib yourself, you just download a precompiled binary, see our 
wiki.
