[vorbis-dev] Building vorbis-tools without libao

[Jack Moffitt]

> Yes.  Libao is used to playback audio to sound devices.  

And to decode ogg files to several formats.  There's no oggdec, as
that's ogg123's job at the moment.  libao is a perfectly justified and
useful addition to the rest of teh vorbis-tools even without having a
soundcard.

That being said...

I think the amount of mail we get is justification.  I think we should
implement

--with-oggenc=yes|no, --without-oggenc
--with-ogg123=yes|no, --without-ogg123
--with-vorbiscomment=yes|no, --without-vorbiscomment
--with-vcut=yes|no, --without-vcut

and default everything to 'yes'.

that way he can just say 

./configure --without-ogg123

and everything will be happy.
