Audio in Firefox seems to be working fine when ALSA is enabled. But when
ALSA is disabled and only SNDIO is enabled there is no sound. In either

this to work?
Is sndiod running? If not:
sysrc sndiod_enable=YES
service sndiod start
Thanks Tobias. That helped. Out of interest. Is there any reason why I
should prefer either SNDIO, PUlSEAUDIO or ALSA?
This currently creates a problem for those of us using Firefox from
packages because the default build has SNDIO turned off.
$ pkg info firefox
[...]
ALSA : on
[...]
PULSEAUDIO : on
[...]
SNDIO : off
Only backends that support lazy bindings are enabled by default i.e.,
try PULSEAUDIO, if N/A fallback to ALSA, if N/A fallback to native OSS.
SNDIO has lower priority than ALSA in libcubeb but higher in WebRTC and
cannot fallback to native OSS as well. SNDIO currently doesn't work
inside jail and neither sndiod nor Firefox support Capsicum sandboxing,
so falling back to ALSA (or OSS) is important.
Why OSS is not added to port options? OSS is that, probably, all of us have.
