I suppose it might help to specifically mention "${notice_platform}development
files", like most of the other messages for missing libraries and the like,
instead of referring to "sound system" in general, although I'd also argue that
that's implied by the message coming from configure.

The harder problem is of course that we can't know if the user wants to use
Alsa, OSS, CoreAudio, or perhaps in the future PulseAudio, which makes it hard
to talk about a specific package.
