We switched libossaudio to sndio, but programs keep opening /dev/mixer
but don't use it; so it could be replaced by /dev/null. It would be
even better, to not use descriptors at all, but that's more difficult
for gstreamer.
This change is important because /dev/mixer access will be disallowed
to regular users for security reasons (do you want random big programs
to be able to run random ioctls on /dev/mixer?)
OK?
BTW, any help to update other ports is welcome, this is my list of
programs that require access to /dev/mixer but don't use it:
- emulators/gambatte
- sysutils/conky
- sysutils/gkrellm/plugins/volume
- sysutils/tpb
- telephony/iaxclient
