True, but what those systems which don't come with a Linux supported soundcard or a supported BSD DB installation ? I'd place the two modules into the _expectations dict and enhance the error messages to: test_bsddb3 skipped -- No usable Sleepycat BSD DB 3 installation found test_ossaudiodev skipped -- No OSS-compatible soundcard support found BTW, after inspection I found that SuSE Linux ships with BSD DB 4.0.x. The module name would suggest that this version is not supported.
