FreeBSD lair 9.1-RC1 FreeBSD 9.1-RC1 #0: Tue Aug 14 04:25:06 UTC 2012     root@farrell.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64
>Description:
The current version of openal-soft in portstree contains a bug preventing it from finding playback devices if OSS is used. Here is openal-info output:

$ openal-info
Available playback devices:
    !!! none !!!
Available capture devices:
    OSS Default
Default playback device: 
Default capture device: OSS Default
ALC version: 1.1
.. skipped ...
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Install audio/openal-soft
2. Make sure there is no ALSA installed
3. Open the terminal and call "openal-info" utility.


>Fix:
One of openal-soft developers told me it has been fixed. Here is repository diff related to this problem: http://repo.or.cz/w/openal-soft.git/blobdiff/29f77003c03578546a8a723e68b19951b4555843..648464a2da25277c4b90dac8484053ce98581a9b:/Alc/backends/oss.c

To fix this you can simply put attached file to audio/openal-soft/files directory and then rebuild the port.

Here is the patched openal-info output:
$ openal-info
Available playback devices:
    OSS Default
Available capture devices:
    OSS Default
Default playback device: OSS Default
Default capture device: OSS Default
ALC version: 1.1
