+Thanks to dim@

+Clang 19 has become more strict about erroneous redeclarations, which
+results in an error building audio/oss:
+
+  oss_sndstat.c:114:17: error: redeclaration of 'version' with a different type: 'char[]' vs 'const char[]'
+    114 |     extern char version[];
+        |                 ^
+  /usr/include/sys/systm.h:54:19: note: previous declaration is here
+     54 | extern const char version[];    /* system version */
+        |                   ^
+
+Since version[] has been a const char for quite a while now, adjust the
+redeclaration in oss_sndstat.c. Note that it also might be deleted
+entirely, since the file already includes <sys/systm.h>.
