Well, I'm just playing with sndio as an audio backend to chromium. Now
pkgsrc-wip/chromium uses pulseaudio, but I would like to check how it
works with sndio. However I understand your position on the topic.
Sadly chromium supports only alsa and pulseaudio, which is available
on NetBSD as well. @rnagy from OpenBSD made another option, this is
the sndio backend (upstream not merged). I checked his sndio code
(chromium/media/audio/sndio/*) and I think it isn't hopeless to make
native NetBSD audio backend to chromium, but not for me... I'm lacking
qualities for this :(

If you have some time and motivation to work on this, that would be wonderful.
