sndio is effectively unmaintained in Debian. Even worse, it's a key package. Unless the sndio story improves, i.e., someone actively starts working on it again and the situation around sndio in Debian improves and there is some clear improvement by adding back sndio support to ffmpeg, I'm not adding a dependency on sndio to another key package.
