Actually... the ./configure message is bogus. The script looks for
the ALSA library and headers. The corretct message should be
'Compiling without ALSA sound support'. I'll change this...

The OSS sound driver is available in any case. I would
guess that you are running a soundserver which monopolizes
the /dev/dsp interface. You should also make sure that
you have installed the updated MolAudio extension (Mac OS 9)
or driver bundle (Mac OS X).

This symlink is installed when one install the kernel
modules using a 'make modules_install'. If the kernel is a 
vendor built ont, then one might have to feed MOL the path
to the kernel headers (or add the symlink as you did).
