SUMMARY:

After upgrading to 14.1, it looks like /dev/audio is gone.
Maybe this is some side effect of the "hot un/plugging" changes to
audio that wasn't mentioned in the Release Notes?

I used to be able to do "cp somesound.au /dev/audio".
What, if anything, is the replacement?

DETAILS:

The boot-up messages in the log file show the device uaudio0 getting
discovered just as before. The only log file difference I see is that
"pcm0: <USB audio> on uaudio0" has changed to "pcm0: on uaudio0".
I see no audio*, uaudio*, nor pcm* in /dev now, though.

1) /dev/dsp0 isn't an instant substitute:
"cp somesound.au /dev/dsp0" sounds like both the wrong speed and
the volume cranked up well past distortion level.

2) "out123 -m -r 8000 --speed .5 -P -6 somesound.au" sounds like maybe
something like this could be made to work if I could find all the
right options, but the result so far is horribly noisy. [The .au
file I'm trying to play is sample rate 8000 mono.]

3) pacat/paplay gets "Connection failure: Connection refused".

Any suggestions?

Solved.

Found one: "sndfile-play somesound.au"

from /usr/local/bin/sndfile-play from the libsndfile package/port.

There has been loads of exciting work in /sys/dev/sound/, tho, the two
commits that might be of interest are:

sound: Get rid of snd_clone and use DEVFS_CDEVPRIV(9):
https://cgit.freebsd.org./src/commit/sys/dev/sound/pcm?
id=e8c0d15a64fadb4a330f2da7244becaac161bb70

sound: Remove unused dsp_cdevs[] fields and devices:
https://cgit.freebsd.org./src/commit/sys/dev/sound/pcm/dsp.c?
id=72cbd381075a2eb22a070505334d1ce92ec2d7ad

Otherwise no idea on how to replicate the older methods with the new sound
work.
