TOC Preamble Poudriere installation Removing unwanted dependencies More complex examples of deWaylandization Ports flavors Patching Makefile Results and thoughts Notes Preamble My everyday FreeBSD system has two good old components for graphics and sound — the X Server and the OSS. There are simple reasons to use these components — they are mature, they have tons of user documentation, use case examples, etc. I also like the way these things have been used in the FreeBSD world. Let me quote vermaden, who wrote well (about the OSS) in the Quare FreeBSD? blogpost:
To be fair, OSS is not comparable to a sound server, and some people have a genuine need for one.
(I’ll never endorse PulseAudio, though; it’s garbage.)
