No, you should get to work on writing sound support. ;-)

I think we can already have sound on the Hurd, by using one of the
networked sound protocols.

But then, for this example it sounded like the build system would need
OSS's headers.


Would it be hard to create OSS header files (and ship them with GNU
Mach?) which only make the build system / runtime know that there are no
physical sound devices?  Same deal for USB, which Barry was working
on--what's the state there?

libusb is problematic because we seem to have a broken jade.
