  1. FreeBSD: Add synced OSS operation (sosso) headers. 

    As a header-only C++ library, synced OSS operation (sosso) is used to
clean up and separate the low-level handling of FreeBSD OSS devices
in JACK. Features include:

 * Supports both read() / write() and mmap() IO operation.
 * Adaptive polling, better suited for low-latency requirements.
 * Internal double buffer to avoid troubles with OSS buffer resize.
 * Closely monitors progress and drift for each channel (+/- 1ms).
 * Facilitates drift correction through buffer offsets.
 * Depends on C++ standard library and system headers, nothing else.

Although the sosso library is somewhat tailored to the needs of JACK,
it was developed separately and will eventually be published and / or
used in other projects. Therefore the headers follow a different
formatting style and are more liberally licensed (ISC).

  2. FreeBSD: Rewrite the OSS driver using sosso library. 

    Make use of the sosso library to handle the low-level operation of
OSS devices on FreeBSD. Further separate this part into the
JackOSSChannel class, which should make it easier to reuse the code
for JackOSSAdapter (not planned yet).
JackOSSChannel features an additional assist thread which helps to
process the OSS device when the driver thread is busy with the JACK
dependency graph.
Combined with the improvements of the sosso library, these changes
bring JACK into the realm of real-time audio processing on FreeBSD,
for select PCI sound cards (4-6ms round trip latency).
