Hi,

Is this Linux? If so, please don't use --enable-oss, the OSS backend
is specific to FreeBSD, so other parts may fail too.

Anyway, AFMT_{U24,U32}_xx could be removed as you suggest.

I've never seen hardware that supports unsigned 24-bit samples but
doesn't support signed 24-bit samples. Such hardware probably doesn't
exist.  My guess is that the AFMT_U24_xxx and AFMT_U32_xxx constants
were added for completeness but are not used at all.

But, I'd like to hear opinions of FreeBSD users before removing
AFMT_U24 and AFMT_U32 support.
