Unfortunately, sometimes they are because developers are lazy, but as those ports are just thin wrappers around our native APIs I don't really mind them (or even notice) at the end of the day. Psssht-Audio is much bigger and intrusive piece of junk, which is not needed to have fully functional FreeBSD desktop -- that is, for gaming, multimedia, YouTube, sound mixing, per-program volume control and what's not. You can safely delete it and everything would keep working just fine, if not better. ./danfe
