Back in 2015, when we made massive API changes to the (private) audio(4) API, we carefully audited the ports tree and *all* ports were using libsndio to play/record sound. I don't know how this could even compile, as the current audio(4) API is very different to SunAudio or whatever we inherited from NetBSD.
