audio software usually needs some changes to make it work anyway, take a look at the patches, it's often not straightforward. converting to a clean API with good documentation, like sndio, can be a lot more straightforward than fixing things to work with our audio(4) or even making the changes to work with ossaudio emulation. and don't forget a lot of this type of software uses some library for audio i/o, most of which have already been converted to use sndio. in short, I don't think this is a problem.
