You win this round champ, regardless.. my first point remains valid.

The topic was all about OSS4's BSD licenced release, Jacob Meuser, the maintainer, has already mentioned the fact that OpenBSD supports
more chipsets with it's native framework.
I count 22 in the 4.3 release, for various architectures.. some are even on i2c buses.
The point is: They designed a native audio API they like, they improve it with each new release, and they've audited it for security.
So, debate over... IMHO.
