Most of the OSW externals library are actually XML files, which are
preprocessed by a utility called the 'externalizer' that translates them
into C++ and then compiles the result.  The externalizer is not available
until after you've run 'make install'.

Well the jack driver is forthcoming, perhaps it will be ready in a couple
of weeks, I can't say for sure right now.  There is also an OSS driver
which currently I recommend that you should stay away from (since it will
likely freeze your machine).

The ALSA stuff is in a state of flux.  I made some changes as recently as
yesterday...  cvs update and try it again if you can.  You should get
significantly more output than what you reported.

Thanks for you help with testing this, by the way.  We appreciate it.
