This is rather more complex. OpenBSD struggles to remove all !sndio solutions, with a good record track of applications switched to it. There is also support for other BSDs and Linux in sndio so it is a viable piece of software to be adopted more widely. >> SDL is an optional intermediate layer kept for practical/compatibility >> purposes, but all software shall use sndio natively. > > Is pulseaudio supported?
