It also enables SDL for Linux hosts. OSS is the default, but you can tell
qemu to prefer SDL by setting the environment variable QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=sdl
(you can set it to use fmod, etc by this manner as well).

The patch isn't needed. This should be chosen at run time.

Version of SDL shouldn't matter, afaik. I'm using SDL 1.2.7 if that helps.

The sound daemon one uses isn't really dependent on which GUI environment you
use (for example I have both esd and artsd, but others may use yasd, NAS, etc).

I actually use both artsd and esd. (I use artsdsp esd to do this tricky, in
order to run both ESD and Arts programs.)
