 If Hurd soundcard.h is missing those defines, doesn't it mean that some 
 ossaudio programs will fail to compile on Hurd?  Why isn't adding the 
 missing defines to the Hurd soundcard.h possible?  The ABI used by old 
 binaries will not change if you add new definitions, so I'm not sure I 
 understand your motivation for patching NetBSD sources here.
