im_sun definately doesn't get compiled on linux. If I tried to compile it,
I'd be _really_ surprised if it succeeded :-)

Hmm... ok - well, if that device is actuall sun-audio-device compatible,
I guess that's the way to go (if you want live input, that is. If not,
then you can just get rid of it entirely using autoconf/automake, I
think).

I don't have any systems with sun audio support (I didn't write im_sun.c),
so I can't do much with it - but if you can supply a patch to make it
work better at some point, it'd be gladly received.

autoconf/automake are _all about_ random guessing. I've never found a
better reliable way, anyway.

Can you report this on on bugs.xiph.org (with a stacktrace, if possible)?
I don't know ogg123 very well, but others will look at ogg123 bugs.
