This is the ./configure --help of the new 14.4.2.
After the obligatory options such as --prefix,
it presents the 'Optional Packages' section.
This offers various additinal audio formats
and output drivers.

I believe it would be an improvement if those two were separated
into, say, 'Aduio Formats', and 'Output Drivers', or at least
regrouped in the output of --help. Specifically,

  --with-sndio=dyn        load sndio dynamically
  --with-coreaudio=dyn    load coreaudio dynamically
  --with-alsa=dyn         load alsa dynamically
  --with-ao=dyn           load ao dynamically
  --with-pulseaudio=dyn   load pulseaudio dynamically
  --with-waveaudio=dyn    load waveaudio dynamically
  --with-oss=dyn          load oss dynamically
  --with-sunaudio=dyn     load sunaudio dynamically

are audio output drivers and you typically want exactly one of them;
now, they are reported inbetween various codecs, of which you
probably want many.

Does this make sense?
Would configure.ac be the right file to edit?
