That can be remedied. :-)

Yes.  In config/NetAudio.tmpl, I added -lXau to the AUDIOLIBS line. 
After that, all the clients linked.  They appear to run, but without a
server on OSX, I can't test.  And I'm also having some problems getting
ssh forwarding of the nas ports from my OSX box to my linux box so that
I can run the client on OSX and the server on linux to listen to the audio.

Is there a document that describes what's needed to write one?  I wasn't
thinking of writing a direct interface to OSX audio, but using portaudio
as the interface between nas and OSX audio.
