Okay. That sounds fine. I don't use gnome2-media myself. And I was trying 
a quick workaround.

I re-added the maintainer back to this CC.

The PR is #30139
  http://www.NetBSD.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=30139
It is over two months old.

I filed a bugs with gnome a couple weeks ago but it has been ignored:
   http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=309634

I found some example code in the libsndfile source for checking for lrint. 
I don't know if the standard configure.ac macros have proper tests for it.

I will let someone else explore this.
