[Discuss-gnuradio] gr-audio-oss - OSS API emulation on NetBSD

[Berndt Josef Wulf]

G'day,

NAME
     ossaudio -- OSS audio emulation

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
     The ossaudio library provides an emulation of the OSS (Linux) audio
     interface.

Would it be possible to have autoconfig check for the libossaudio library and 
if so, add the -lossaudio linker option in module gr-audio-oss?

e.g.

AC_CHECK_LIBRARY(ossaudio,....
