If the issue is the "-vm-sound-oss" parameter given to squeakvm, I can
think of a couple of possibilities:
1) create different starting scripts for each system, possibly
selecting the preferred one via alternatives
2) use a default parameter, and allow to modify it via environment variables
What about something like this? Any better idea?
