Subject: [gentoo-dev] [RFC] New global USE flag: sndio
Date: Fri, 03 Jan 2025 16:27:42 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4S-zeMjcDD7SBwDap03zYCTA-79PKhoC__InlThOVmO7S4AuKD-nY-qXk67CnG4PmxIDh0yPiE4aut6Qb51tPAFJHGvNQvb8Uk2JfOyPPtQ=@pm.me> (raw)

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
