[vorbis-dev] YALCSF (Yet Another Libao Configure Script Fix)

[volsung at asu.edu]

This patch fixes three problems with the current configure script:

1. Manual exclusion of drivers: Now you will be able to force drivers NOT to
be compiled, even if they are detected.  This was specifically requested with
so that ALSA could be disabled.

2. Selecting the default device: Now you can override the default driver
chosen by the script with your own preference.  Again, this enhancement is
targetted at ESD and ALSA users who don't want to type -d alsa or -d esd on
every ogg123 command line.

3. NetBSD builds (again): I noticed that somehow the fix for building on
NetBSD forgot to enable the compilation of OSS in the configure script.  I
don't know why no one complained about it.  Do I need to bribe bug reports out
of people? :)  Anyway, this should take care of it, hopefully.

Here's the excerpt from the libao README explaining the new configure options:
*****
--enable-DRIVER
--disable-DRIVER

Replace DRIVER with oss, irix, solaris, esd, or alsa.  These options
specifically add or remove a driver from the final library.  Since all
of the driver which can be built are built by default, usually only
the --disable-DRIVER option is used.

--enable-default-output=DRIVER

Replace driver with oss, irix, solaris, esd, alsa, null, or wav.  This
option sets the default output driver returned by the library when
ao_get_driver_id(NULL) is called.
****

Note that you use these options on the main configure script and they are
passed through to the libao configure script.

As always, bug reports and flames welcome.
