70e27ecba51892cbe4cc94bbf785c6dd261dfd57 - virtual_oss: Introduce virtual_oss_default_control_device rc variable

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 16:51:02 +0200

virtual_oss: Introduce virtual_oss_default_control_device rc variableThe -t option gives the user the ability to create a control device fora given virtual_oss(8) instance, so that the instance's configurationcan be manipulated during runtime with virtual_oss_cmd(8). As isexpected, the control device's name is not known, since it is specifiedby the user.This patch introduces a virtual_oss_default_control_device rc variable,which defaults to "vdsp.ctl". The goal of this is that third-partyprograms and scripts can access the control device of the defaultvirtual_oss(8) configuration without guessing. This is especially usefulfor sbin/devd/snd.conf which deals with hot-swapping sound devices usingvirtual_oss(8).Sponsored by: The FreeBSD FoundationMFC after: 1 weekReviewed by: markjDifferential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D55670 List of files: /freebsd/libexec/rc/rc.d/virtual_oss

virtual_oss: Clean up rcordersndiod is part of audio/sndio, so we should avoid referencing a portutility from base.We should also require NETWORKING for the service to start, sincevirtual_oss can be configured to send audio through the network.Sponsored by: The FreeBSD FoundationMFC after: 1 dayReviewed by: des, markj, emasteDifferential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D53019 List of files: /freebsd/libexec/rc/rc.d/virtual_oss

9cab9fde5edad9b409dd2317a2aec7815e6d6bed - virtual_oss: Port to base

Sun, 28 Sep 2025 11:56:52 +0200

virtual_oss: Port to baseThis patch diverges quite a bit from the current upstream [1] in a fewways:1. virtual_oss(8), virtual_bt_speaker(8) and virtual_oss_cmd(8) are actually separate programs.2. Backends (lib/virtual_oss) are built as separate shared libraries and we dlopen() them in virtual_oss(8) and virtual_bt_speaker(8) on demand.3. virtual_equalizer(8) and the sndio and bluetooth backends are built as ports, because they depend on third-party libraries.4. Use newer libav API in bluetooth backend (see HAVE_LIBAV ifdefs) to address compiler errors.[1] https://github.com/freebsd/virtual_ossSponsored by: The FreeBSD FoundationMFC after: 1 weekReviewed by: emasteDifferential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D52308 List of files: /freebsd/libexec/rc/rc.d/virtual_oss
