I just checked and it compiles still all fine for me on OpenBSD. Still need to 
test
it though. I'm still struggling with the Sndio Output Backend, exploring 
multiple
ways to get around the issue I have.
Do you can send the libao backend you wrote? If the libao backend works
reliably, then I think it would be the preferred way to go for OpenBSD, and
maybe other *BSD for the time being. I still can work/experiment with the
Sndio backend, but would have much less pressure to get it done ;)

If Riccardo isn't faster, I'll look into it later Today.
