explictily say what he was implying:
Allow building with configure --disable-audio-oss [on systems without
OSS, like MacOS]
Then I'd be able to point you to the reason you shouldn't be using that
option...

How hard would it be to get that little line put in the configure
script for future versions? I too ran into the disable-oss problem
with similar thinking of the above posters, and had problems.
I see the logic of "why not include it if it doesn't hurt anything"
but if that were the case, I'd use a default kernel with everything
included either directly or M'd. I prefer my systems setup to my
exact needs, no more, no less. So, my mentality is to not have OSS on
there since ALSA now fills that need. Knowing that it would have
broken my system with that little tiny message would have, at least,
saved me the pain of troubleshooting what happens without it ;)
Again, not knowing a single thing about coding a configure script, but
couldn't the script be smart enough to recognize a Mac environment and
disable-oss on it's own rather than offer it as an (easy) option to
the general public (x86, x86_64, PPC, Sparq?...)?

Chad, I agree. Alsa does have a compatibility layer for OSS, but I
wouldn't think you would have to disable it as a core function. IMHO
it should be the other way around and the user would have to disable
alsa and --with-oss. Anyway, we all know how it works now so lets
watch TV!<br>
