I am soliciting advice on what strategy to use for Audio Subsystem when building large amounts of source from scratch.
Is there a common Audio subsystem that will work for the majority of ports ?
When building GNOME 3 + KDE5 + Mozilla ( firefox + thundebird ) VLC video playback and audio/ video recording tools such as Audacity ..........
What Audio subsystem should be consistently selected in the PORTS option dialogues to get consistently working sound/audio across the board ?
The ALSA / OSS / Pulseaudio / NAS / JACK / SNDIO selection that accompanies a large number of the PORTS ( with no guidance ) is bewildering.
Is there an Audio subsystem that is better to use for GNOME ? and another that works for KDE ? and a third for Multimedia ?
I have often ended up in a situation where Audio works for Multimedia content but not for Desktop System sounds .
I am reasonably familiar with compliers and toolchains and libraries and include files , having built OSS code since the late 1980:ies.
( please note that I am not asking about how to configure the sound card , which is well described in the Handbook )
