This looks right.  Doing a 'make extract' from within vorbis-tools should list
libao-oss as one of the dependencies (well, it will really show
libao-[a-z]*-[0-9]*,
but the default provider will be set to libao-oss).

This should certainly not happen.  The SUBST* stuff in libao-oss/Makefile should
take care of that...

But maybe this is the reason.  Can you deinstall libao-oss, vorbis-tools and
try again from an up to date tree?
