https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D210124 Bug ID: 210124 Summary: [NEW PORT] audio/sndio: A small audio framework from the OpenBSD project (+ audio/pulseaudio-module-sndio) Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: t@tobik.me Attachment #171185 maintainer-approval+ Flags: Created attachment 171185 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D171185&action= =3Dedit sndio.diff Sndio is a small audio and MIDI framework part of the OpenBSD project. It provides an lightweight audio & MIDI server and a fully documented user-space API to access either the server or directly the hardware in a uniform way. Sndio is designed to work for desktop applications, but pays special attention to synchronization mechanisms and reliability required by music applications. Reliability through simplicity are part of the project goals. WWW: http://www.sndio.org/ ------ Because no FreeBSD port has sndio support atm but most have PulseAudio support, the attached diff also includes a sndio module for PulseAudio. This makes playing to a remote sndio server possible right now= and without patching any ports. sndio has no hardware support for FreeBSD's OSS atm, so local playback is not yet possible. I hope the 2-in-1 diff is ok. = It makes no sense to commit only audio/sndio alone. sndio is unique in that playing audio over the network is possible without = any stuttering (even on slow links) and with very little setup. Something I was never able to figure out with PulseAudio. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
