In bzr revision 117968 on the trunk I enabled sound support on Cygwin.
I gave it only minimal testing, by evaluating
(play-sound-file "/cygdrive/c/Windows/Media/chimes.wav")
If any Cygwin users know how to test it more rigorously, please do so
and report any bugs.
Thanks.
Ken

Usually, in my builds I find
...
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for machine/soundcard.h... no
checking for sys/soundcard.h... yes
checking for soundcard.h... no
checking for mmsystem.h... no
checking for _oss_ioctl in -lossaudio... no
checking for ALSA... no
checking for sys/systeminfo.h... no
checking for sys/sysinfo.h... yes
...
so, should we install additional packages? Which?
Thanks,
Angelo.

I think it should just work with a base Cygwin install. The Cygwin DLL
has a built-in OSS driver, and the corresponding header is sys/soundcard.h.

Oh thanks!
It seems that it works fine with .waw files. Out of curiosity, I tried
also with an .mp3 file but it didn't work. I assume that MP3 is not
supported, yet.
Thanks in any case for having enabled this also for Cygwin system... :)
Ciao,
Angelo.

I think only .wav and .au are supported.

It was trivial to do, and doing it had the beneficial side effect of
exposing a bug in my implementation of HYBRID_MALLOC (fixed in bzr 117967).
