Unfortunately, sometimes they are because developers are lazy, but as
those ports are just thin wrappers around our native APIs I don't really
mind them (or even notice) at the end of the day.  Psssht-Audio is much
bigger and intrusive piece of junk, which is not needed to have fully
functional FreeBSD desktop -- that is, for gaming, multimedia, YouTube,
sound mixing, per-program volume control and what's not.  You can safely
delete it and everything would keep working just fine, if not better.
