https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D216383 --- Comment #1 from Jan Beich (mail not working) <jbeich@FreeBSD.org> --- PulseAudio defaults partially come from upstream[1]. It also better integra= tes with common desktop environments (GNOME, KDE, etc.). To not blow up the dependencies for package-only users by default pulseaudio is only required during build. If you don't like this just uncheck the option when building locally or add OPTIONS_UNSET +=3D PULSEAUDIO to /etc/make.conf. ALSA on FreeBSD state: OSS plugin is unmaintained upstream, lacks devices enumeration, no MIDI, many -utils are broken, high CPU usage in Firefox with BUFSZ_P2 hack disabled. What else can you expect from non-native audio syst= em? PulseAudio isn't as bad but has issues of its own e.g., bug 211684. OSS in libcubeb exists as files/patch-bug1021761. It's always enabled but cannot be exclusive due to lack of WebRTC backend. Building WebRTC without audio backend is currently broken. Before libcubeb came to be there was libsydneyaudio which had OSS support but suffered from very poor latency and sometimes crashed. In short, what are you trying to solve by disabling PULSEAUDIO option by default?
