Thanks for your report.

chan_oss can use X11 support for e.g. video grabbing (I didn't really
get to test that one). This support is only enabled if X11 is already
available. It is not new. res_rtp_asterisk and the pjsip modules link
with pjproject libraries. I guess further symbols diet may be needed.
