[Vm-dev] pulse audio default is not suitable for PI package

Although that I think it is incorrect to say that there has been a recent
change to default to pulseaudio for the Linux VM,

I can understand Tim Rowledge' concern that he does not want or cannot
support
such a change for the Raspbian Pi system.

Perhaps the configure script could be enhanced as in the :

   platforms/unix/vm-sound-OSS/acinclude.m4 

which has an option --without-vm-sound-OSS.

Assuming similar options would be added for the other vm-sound directories,
it would then be possible to configure in the "mvm" script:

   configure --without-vm-sound-ALSA --without-vm-sound-Sun
--without-vm-sound-OSS

so in my case (on Solaris) only the pulseaudio vm-sound-pulse would be
built.

Then the current selection code automatically will choose "pulse".

The downside is that no Sun, or OSS module will be built, but that's not
necessarily a problem for me ...   the vm-sound-pulse is sufficient.

For me "Beeper beep" or "PluckedSound stereoBachFugue play" seem to work
fine with the pulseaudio module of Squeak (both Squeak V4 and V5).

And somebody who wishes to use the other modules can still compile
and use different "configure" options.
