Vorbis dev - Aug 2000 - YALCSF (Yet Another Libao Configure Script Fix)

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.

I'm behind a !@$#% firewall right now, so can somebody else commit this?

OT: Is there any free service over which I could tunnel a raw socket (encrypted
would be even better) from a computer behind a black-box firewall that I only
know forwards www, smtp, and pop3 (probably 1-1024) out to an Internet host on
a non-standard port (like cvs)? Or can cvs proxy?

Just realized: I can do ssh -- if only I can remember to carry my private key
around with me...
