There are 5 different audio drivers for linux, I think this is a bit overkill, so I propose to remove the esd and nas drivers, I don't think anyone uses esd, especially that since for that task alsa can be used now since dmix addon.
I'm not sure what nas is for, but it seems to be 'network audio system', I haven't seen any use for it, except that it causes a 30 seconds slowdown at showing 'audio' tab in winecfg. I don't think anyone uses it.
For esd I think it's best to remove, for nas I'm also for remove, but I'll settle for removing it from winecfg list same way as winearts was disabled for a while.
What are your thoughts about this?
why do you compile the drivers in - or why do have the files around for them? my audio dialog just shows oss and alsa; the others get dropped at compile time. also there might be other platforms that have to use those audio drivers - why drop something that works?
