OSS

Does Freebsd use pulseaudio?

You can install it: audio/pulseaudio

The default is a variant of the Open Sound System. FreeBSD's sound(4) implements its API and it provides the audio devices (/dev/dsp*, /dev/mixer*, ...).

PulseAudio is yet another software abstraction above them.

Support for it can be compiled into a number of ports by enabling the PULSEAUDIO port option globally. Some ports enable PulseAudio support by default or have a hard dependency on it. So effectively yes, FreeBSD uses PulseAudio.

Thanks.
Can I change the shared memory for OSS?
On linux, with pulse audio I would change
shm-size-bytes in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and /etc/pulse/client.conf to 8mb

Do you know how I would do that in OSS?

Why do you think you need to?

Why do you think you need to?

It is using too much of my limited 32bit address space.

It is using too much of my limited 32bit address space.

What do you mean? OSS barely uses any memory at all. How have you measured it?
