Eager detection and usage of sndio can be problematic on Linux about openal-soft HOT 7 CLOSED

I'm not sure how reliant BSD is on sndio these days, whether it's the primary way for apps to do audio or if they have better compatibility with more common APIs. In either case, having it disabled by default for non-BSD systems is probably the way to go since it isn't loaded dynamically.

Good point about sndio vs soundio. I'll look to making that more consistent as sndio.

This should be done now with commit 7dcfe0f (though you may need to use the latest commit 09cf896 to fix a missing include error some systems may get).

Side note: The conflation of "sndio" and "SoundIO" terminology in the CMake files was quite confusing considering the existence of libsoundio...

Sounds good. FWIW, I can send a patch for this if you like. 👀

Thanks! I just tried a build with master and the dependencies now look to be what you'd expect:

❯ ldd libopenal.so
	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffe661e5000)
	libstdc++.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0x000073a61f400000)
	libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x000073a61f315000)

	/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000073a61f8fe000)

vs previously:

from openal-soft.

Although libasound.so.2 not being a dependency now seems odd - is that an expected side effect?

from openal-soft.

Ah, never mind - libsndio.so depends on it, so that seems expected indeed.
