As of 9cab9fde5eda ("virtual_oss: Port to base") [1], we have--
virtual_oss in the base system. Quoting from RELNOTES [2] to avoid
repeating myself:
virtual_oss is imported to base. The audio/virtual_oss port will
stop being built from FreeBSD 15.0 onwards.
Regarding user-facing changes, the only practical difference is
the installation process. Everything is provided by the base
system, except for the following optional components, which can
be installed from ports:
* sndio backend support: audio/virtual_oss_sndio
* bluetooth backend support: audio/virtual_oss_bluetooth
* virtual_equalizer(8): audio/virtual_oss_equalizer
Apart from that, virtual_oss should work as expected. Users of
virtual_oss can uninstall audio/virtual_oss and instead use the
base system version from now on.
The commits for the ports can be found here: [3][4][5]. In the next days
I will also MFC virtual_oss to stable/15, so that it ships with
15.0-RELEASE.
