 This looks right.  Doing a 'make extract' from within vorbis-tools should l=
 ist
 libao-oss as one of the dependencies (well, it will really show
 libao-[a-z]*-[0-9]*,
 but the default provider will be set to libao-oss).

 This should certainly not happen.  The SUBST* stuff in libao-oss/Makefile s=
 hould
 take care of that...

 But maybe this is the reason.  Can you deinstall libao-oss, vorbis-tools an=
 d
 try again from an up to date tree?
