Yes, you want audio detected.  However, I believe some edits are
required to compile ogle on Solaris/x86 10 (and 8).  Your error msg is
related to this.

1. The build process gets confused by MMX and mlib.  I'm uncertain if
mlib is of much interest if Xv is available; on SPARC, mlib is
essential.  My tests seem to say that ogle and mlib don't work on x86
(colors are wildly wrong).  So, I disabled mlib.

2. I edited ogle-0.9.2/include/ogle_endian.h so that the asm version
of the byte swap macros are used.  If I recall correctly, this is only
a minor difference in overall performance.

It has been some time since I did this, and I may have forgotten
steps.  Once compiled, it works fine on Solaris/x86 in my limited
tests with older hardware (but with Xv on ATI and Matrox cards).

www.blastwave.org has ready-to-run packages.  I have not tested ogle
from them, but they are known for quality work.
