My idea is to fix pcm/sound to play nice with dynamically appearing and disappearing audio devices. Right now it's a pain if you have a laptop and an usb headset. Once the usb headset device is attached and chosen, then if WM is started you can't detach the headset= . Otherwise it will make your system a brick spitting "Waiting for sound application to exit!" messages. This is a problem not only for people using usb headsets, but also those who have a dock station which may have HDMI ports as it registers them as audio devices. You can't even easily send your laptop to sleep with this bug. I know, there are workarounds, like this one https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/forcing-off-the-computer-endlessly-waiti= ng-for-sound-application-to-exit-at-sleep-suspend-time.80412/ But it's rather a dirty workaround which is error prone. --00000000000044674405d1a26f20--
