This should work, but I wonder if the Makefile should be a bit smarter, 
as you already know when configuring if a sound server willbe built or not.
You can probably leave this to the upstream maintainer.

The other solution would be either to port nas and use that on the Hurd
instead of a native driver, or to port xgalaga to the esd.  We do have esd on
the Hurd.

I can add you to the Hurd project at sourceforge.  Create a sourceforge
account and let me know what your account name is.
