In GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, Motif Version 2.3.4)
of 2013-08-02 on juno
Bzr revision: address@hidden
Windowing system distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version
11.0.11402901
System Description: NAME=Gentoo
After the 2013-07-27 change to configure.ac, --with-sound will accept
option values (yes, no, ossaudio, alsa). However, it is not possible
to enable sound support but prevent autodetection of ALSA.
For example, when configuring --with-sound=yes on a GNU/Linux system,
ALSA will be enabled when it is found.
The patch below adds a new value --with-sound=voxware that will enable
sound but not ALSA, i.e. src/sound.c will then use the /dev/dsp device
of OSS.
(I'd have preferred the name "oss" over "voxware", but there already
is "ossaudio" and I think having "oss" along with it would be too
confusing. Also src/sound.c refers to the driver as Voxware and
functions are called vox_init() etc. But feel free to change it to
"oss" if you think that confusion is not an issue.)

Applied.
I think no-one is going to know what these options mean without reading
configure.ac, but I don't expect (m)any people will use them apart from
the people who reported these issues in the first place.
