Are you sure?  And are you speaking about the latest version - 3.3.3 ?

In that version, if neither ALSA nor OSS4 is selected then the only output
possible is FileWriter.  BTW, OSS4 is "On" by default, which is annoying - why do
I have install some external kernel code if we already have quite good audio code.

It seems that audacious has lost support for "normal OSS" and became useless to
me.  Maybe "SDL Output" plugin/option could help, I need to try that.
