| Minor patching is minor patching. Polyaudio has an OSS backend, and all
| the free *BSD have OSS has a backend. So there's no problems there.

The OSS backend does work on FreeBSD (if you disable loading of the ALSA
module), but there were some other problems.  I have done a complete
FreeBSD port, and I sent patches to Lennart.  I tried to make them
OS-agnostic so they would work with the other BSDs and MacOS X.  He said
he would commit them.
