If it gets reversed please take care of the polypaudio configure checks, I 
added afterwards. Didn't notice the broken commit before.
I also have to say that I don't like reversing commits with cvs admin at all.
Imho they might be ok if the commiter fucked up something during the commit, 
like commiting to the wrong version or if he commited code that is not easy 
to fix and breaks compilation. It should never be used for broken code 
changes, because it somewhat works behind the back of the other developers.
It also has something from a time machine. When we are super l33t coders
in the future will we just reverse every file to   1.0 and rewritte MPlayer 
from scratch without all the hacks?
