I wouldn't regard it as a bug.  FreeBSD doesn't actually use OSS.  It uses OSS compatible ioctls.  There may be some common macro between the two that could be checked.  When I figured out why the configure script was failing, it was late and I was out of patience.

I really don't know much about doing cross-platform configuration.  I'll look for a more graceful way of doing it before I post a fix on the swiki.

This was just an expedient.  I posted it here because I'm not the only one struggling to get sound on FreeBSD.  A Google search yielded a bunch of people asking the same questions I had with no answers.
