in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:

which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.

replacement for ESOUND with a few more bells and whistles:
* Extensible plugin architecture (by loading dynamic loadable modules
with dlopen())
* Support for more than one sink/source
* Better low latency behaviour
* Embedabble into other software (the core is available as C library)
* Completely asynchronous C API
* Simple command line interface for reconfiguring the daemon while running
* Flexible, implicit sample type conversion and resampling
* "Zero-Copy" architecture
* Module autoloading
* Very accurate latency measurement for playback and recordin.
* May be used to combine multiple sound cards to one (with sample rate
adjustment)
* Client side latency interpolation
