[Thomas de Grivel]

I am posting this to stk and debian-multimedia lists because I would
appreciate some feedback about this.

I need an uploader though I still wonder about the usability of this
package : the debian package has binaries with support for oss,
alsa and jack but the installed headers do not provide them unless
the user defines some (unprefixed) macros like __LINUX_ALSA__.

I feel we should at least create some config.h at compilation and
maybe include it in stk headers, or let the user include it. Another
less intrusive solution would be to create a pkgconfig file. I can do
both. Maybe even upstream would be interested ?
