It would be also nice to have a choice to disable sound altogether
at compile time for folks who don't have or want sound
on the system, Linux or otherwise. I am assuming this option
will be in the final release.

>From limits.h on my solaris box:
/*
* POSIX 1003.1a, section 2.9.5, table 2-5 contains [NAME_MAX] and the
* related text states:
*
* A definition of one of the values from Table 2-5 shall be omitted from the
* <limits.h> on specific implementations where the corresponding value is
* equal to or greater than the stated minimum, but where the value can vary
* depending on the file to which it is applied. The actual value supported for
* a specific pathname shall be provided by the pathconf() (5.7.1) function.
*
* This is clear that any machine supporting multiple file system types
* and/or a network can not include this define, regardless of protection
* by the _POSIX_SOURCE and _POSIX_C_SOURCE flags.
*
* #define NAME_MAX 14
*/
Then something like this would be one example, works under
Linux also. Do a man on pathconf for the details,
hopefully the developers will do it the portable way.
: #include <unistd.h>
: #include <stdio.h>
:
: main () {
:
: long ret;
: ret = pathconf("/tmp/",_PC_NAME_MAX);
: printf("_PC_NAME_MAX is %ld \n",ret);
:
: }
