I'm not sure what you mean - did configure fail because of this? 
If it did fail, then that's a bug (and a pretty serious one).

If it didn't (and it shouldn't - I added this, and it worked for me even
though I don't have the relevent kde headers present), then that's fine -
that's only required for the kde aRTs (I probably got the capitalisation
wrong there, but I don't care) plugin. 

If that isn't present, then it doesn't get compiled - as intended.

The cvs modules are called ao, ogg, and vorbis. The compiled libraries are
libao, libogg, etc. This is independent of whether you have a beta dist
tarball, or a cvs checkout. Neither is 'preferred' - they're for different
things.
