Not enough. See malc hint (g show 0c58ac1c7)

The order in audio_drivers is important, that means you can have a
different default sound driver.

After some thinking, my current plan is exporting audio_drv_list
to the Makefile, and then generating something similar to AUDIO_DRIVERS.

Notice that the "ordering" problems not only happens with sound drivers,
we have the same problems with graphics console, which one is the
default one?  It depends on what you have configured, and changing the
default order is far from trivial.


Later, Juan.
