You don't know all cards etc. eg. with alsa9 oss emulation works usually 
better with mplayer, then native alsa9. Also mplayer's oss otput is the most 
primary output, so will be best maintained. So please let the autodetection 
active for openbsd, so if ossaudio emulation support is dected, it should be 
enabled. It's up to users choice, wether sunaudio or oss emulation works 
better for him.
