It has been replaced by --enable-mad

IMHO, no. Since the backend is based on SDL, and can work without mad and
ffmpeg (though only playing adpcm and uncompressed audio), i think
--enable-sound=sdl is the correct way to do it. The way it configure should
work should be that if sdl is choosen, and --enable-mad is used, we only check
for mad. If --enable-mad isn't used, we check automaticly for ffmpeg. This was
my orignal idea for how it should work, but perhaps the way we choose between
mad and ffmpeg could be better...
