I don't quite understand. ALSA may be present on a FreeBSD system, and
if it is, configure detecting it actually breaks Emacs sound support, so
it should be excluded?

If the test for ossaudio succeeds, we should not go on to test for alsa
too? Sounds like this might be general rather than specific to FreeBSD?

I don't know. It's certainly worth making an Emacs bug report that
explains what the problem is and how the patch is supposed to fix it.
