Sooner or later, I do plan to add choices into this menu, so I suppose 
you're right about this. However, "CA:" is meaningless to OS X users; 
the phrase "Default sound output device" would be accurate and match 
Apple's terminology in the control panel, so that's what I'd recommend 
as the Core Audio selection text.

Actually, the OSS #define was recently moved down to the lower level, 
for consistency with the others...  ;)  I do agree that it's not always 
immediately obvious where to look for some things, but I think that 
extending the configure script will help with this.

With my patch, the #define stuff will all live in config.h, and won't 
be in any .pro file, top-level or not. Eventually all of the various 
#defines will be in that one file. Maximum consistency!
