[PATCH 1/1] add --with-audio-output-method=<name> option

[Steve Holmes]

With all this talk of default audio output methods, How does any of
these changes affect the speechd.conf file?

I ask this because what I did for the Arch package was to alter the
AudioOutputMethod on the fly when building the package.  If the
./configure step updates this file too, then I can get rid of that
dynamic step.
