Hello, was discussing some things related to this with debdrup yesterday, and I realised that something that'd help using sndio in FreeBSD would be one of those fantastic pkg-messages after installation. Otherwise it looks to me like the only place where the rc script is documented is the rc-script itself. Tested under poudriere without network access and installing on a machine without sndio. Cheers,

Created attachment 214869 [details] Add a pkg-message to sndio Improved wording because the rc script's defaults aren't the same as sndiod's. Thanks to debdrup for asking to clarify that.
Comment on attachment 214869 [details] Add a pkg-message to sndio I'm sorry but I don't like it. Sndio will work out of the box without any setup and transparently in the simplest case and using sndiod is optional. This pkg-message gives the impression that you must run sndiod to use audio/sndio which is just plain wrong.
Oh, I see, just tried things again without sndiod and indeed it is not necessary; I guess this assumption remained from a previous test phase. Thank you and sorry for the noise.
