[SoX-devel] Detecting and building support for audio devices

[Reuben T. <rr...@sc...>]

To address some points raised in bugs:

1. I'm wondering if the preprocessor code in SoX to choose the default sound 
device should check sun audio before OSS: are there any OSes that support 
both for which OSS should be considered the default? If so, perhaps a flag 
to set the default device should be provided. Also, some people may prefer 
OSS to ALSA (e.g. users of the commercial OSS drivers).

2. I can think of at least one good reason a) to allow each sound driver to 
be enabled/disabled at configure time and b) to allow SoX to be built with 
no drivers, namely, to allow SoX to be built for different hardware than the 
build system.

So, I propose allowing each driver to be disabled/enabled, and allow the 
default device to be specified.

These are not big changes, and squash at least one reported bug. Problem?
