Yes -- "fortunately" the configure script is too stupid to
detect oss at all, so this doesn't lead to an error.
sun audio works just fine for me.

Wrt xine-lib: Be cautious if you update to rc4a. They have
messed up some functions which probe file formats, some
formats just don't play anymore. Reverting some files to
the rc4 version helps for me. (I have it on my laptop,
can give you details if you want.)
