IMO audio apps should be focusing on sndio. If an app has sndio support then try to disabe the Sun/OSS support if it isn't too diffcult but ultimately sndio is the default/preferred API. aRts/esound support should be removed from ports and not introduced unless the port(s) require the use of aRts/esound (some KDE apps for aRts...), and that is referring to anything that might be in the ports tree at the very moment. Simplify the sound handling/options with OpenBSD in the ports tree and that means narrowing down the options in general to sndio/JACK. Jacob seems to agree. If Jacob seems to not want new JACK (1) stuff introduced then I think this should just be dropped. Pick up the JACK support when JACK 2 comes around. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
