It took me quite time to get rid of all 1001
#ifdef MY_FAVORITE_AUDIO_METHOD
in the source code and make it independent on this stuff.

I agree that a generating of c file from configure is not the best way.
You are more than welcome to invent something better
e.g. discovery of audio plugins similar to what Trev did.
The only requirement: it shall be universal,
i.e. no source code modifications while adding a new audio backend.
