It is also with how gtk, a Visual Graphical toolkit, is mixed in with an Audio application. I was inspecting libcanberra and libcanberra-gtk3. audio/libcanberra-gtk3 takes care of canberra plugins for pulseaudio and gstreamer. It also takes care of two gtk3 library files, one of which is a module. Ports that really need gtk3 are tangled mostly upstream, and require --enable-gtk3. Others ports require libcanberra-gtk3 for either gtk3, pulseaudio or gstreamer. Some ports have audio/libcanberra-gtk3 as a dependency, but don't need it. audio/libcanberra itself is not so bad. audio/libcanberra also works without gtk20 in the test Makefile, which shouldn't be needed at all. So, plain libcanberra without libcanberra-gtk3 is not complicated, because it doesn't involve gtk3, pulseaudio, and gstreamer; it has gtk2 as a dependency, which it doesn't need. Sooner or later, a drop in replacement for libcanberra needs to be made for all BSD's. It should use ogg files from audio/freedesktop-sound-theme. Perhaps it can include simple pipe to play ogg and other audio files as well. After investigating, libcanberra is suitable for the short term, and anything that fails without libcanberra-gtk3 is an issue with the upstream ports themselves.
