• [gentoo-dev] [RFC] New global USE flag: sndio

    From Filip Kobierski@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jan 3 17:30:01 2025
    Hello everyone,

    after successfully proposing making io-uring global I will propose
    another global USE flag: sndio.

    As of right how 19 packages would use it[1] and only two of them
    (waybar & scrummvm) provide details on what it provides exactly.

    I think the generic descroption like
    "Enable support for the <pkg>media-sound/sndio</pkg backend"
    is good.

    It could be noted somewhere that the backend supports both
    audio and MIDI but the user is one `emerge --search sndio`
    away from learning that if they wish.

    What do you think about it?

    Kind regards
    Filip Kobierski
