Created attachment 242783 [details] v1 (apply via "git am") FreeBSD kernel doesn't support ALSA, so there're no "hw" devices, only plugins. alsa-lib provides default config to map /dev/dsp to pcm.default using "oss" plugin. Let's make pipewire use it. Based on bug 255348. I didn't test planar vs. interleaved samples but bug 184006 should handle float to integer conversion. $ mpv --no-video --ao=pipewire --msg-level=ao=v https://feeds.fireside.fm/bsdnow/rss [...] [ao] Trying audio driver 'pipewire' [ao/pipewire] requested format: 48000 Hz, stereo channels, floatp [ao/pipewire] Headers version: 0.3.62 [ao/pipewire] Library version: 0.3.62 [ao/pipewire] Core user: foo [ao/pipewire] Core host: 131amd64-default [ao/pipewire] Core version: 0.3.62 [ao/pipewire] Core name: pipewire-0 [ao/pipewire] device buffer: 960 samples.

Comment on attachment 242783 [details] v1 (apply via "git am") > +MEDIASESSION_RUN_DEPENDS= alsa-plugins>0:audio/alsa-plugins This brings audio/pulseaudio via bug 245321. Maybe multimedia/pipewire should also enable PULSEAUDIO option by default. Note, audio/alsa-plugins is required to avoid the following after installing /usr/local/etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/alsa-default.conf Adding "nofail" will make the error non-fatal at the cost of broken audio (again). $ pipewire [...] ALSA lib dlmisc.c:285:(snd_dlobj_cache_get0) Cannot open shared library /usr/local/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_oss.so ((null): Cannot open "/usr/local/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_oss.so") [E][0.237744] spa.alsa | [ alsa-pcm.c: 558 spa_alsa_open()] 'pcm.default': playback open failed: Device not configured [W][0.237750] mod.adapter | [ adapter.c: 232 find_format()] 0x2efa73d40040: can't get format: Device not configured [E][0.237755] mod.adapter | [module-adapter.c: 283 create_object()] usage: node.name=<string> [E][0.237759] pw.resource | [ resource.c: 265 pw_resource_errorf_id()] usage: node.name=<string> [E][0.237839] pw.conf | [ conf.c: 692 create_object()] can't create object from factory adapter: Invalid argument [E][0.238164] default | [ pipewire.c: 125 main()] failed to create context: Invalid argument
If this works for you, go for it.

"wpctl status" now shows "ALSA plugins (OSS by default)" instead of generic "PCM Sink" (or "PCM Source"). This helps to distinguish devices populated by pipewire-spa-oss from a single device created by ALSA=on that may simply pass to OSS or have its own routing/postprocessing e.g., uncomment "pcm.!default pcm.pulse" in ${LOCALBASE}/etc/asound.conf
