Comment:
I emphasize, I **don't have** `alsa-sndio` installed. It's not needed. Because the OpenBSD devs did it right: the sndiod daemon only opens the card when it plays audio, then it releases when audio playback is stopped. If you control the sound system through ALSA (e.g. volume control via `amixer`), then it's the same as if it were pure ALSA (except you have Firefox working too).
Basically what I did:
1. installed sndio
2. started sndiod
3. it just works like before, plus Firefox works too
I don't say everyone have to follow this configuration. I left these here for users who want minimalist setup. It's worth trying if someone wants this setup, and if it doesn't work, they can move on to other sound systems. It works for me, so it's possible that it will work for others.
I don't say anything from these instructions should be included in the packages or any packages should be changed, so it's pointless to debate.
