The /dev/audio -> /dev/audio0 diff is a noop by default, as I also switched the default driver from openbsd to sdl (which uses sndio). I don't express an opinion on putting the symlinks back. I think most programs that use audio on OpenBSD use sndio (directly or indirectly). Those that don't are problematic to use in general, since you have to stop using sndiod to use them (this is how mednafen currently operates in ports, before the patch). Thanks, Jeremy
