Sorry. I had a brain fart. I meant QEMU_AUDIO_DRV. And after
looking at the code, it appears to be smart enough to pick the
right audio subsystem. I just remember having to fiddle with
QEMU_AUDIO_DRV when I was trying to figure out a previous
problem with audio occurred (like 18 months ago)

Well, it appears to use SDL in that case where there is no OSS.

Thanks for the clarification. Guess I'll just go ahead an use the OSS
stuff.
