It has a daemon, that gets installed at /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sndiod

Files from /usr/ports/audio/sndio/pkg-plist are

bin/aucat
bin/midicat
bin/sndiod
include/sndio.h
lib/libsndio.so
lib/libsndio.so.6.1
plus a lot of manpages.

The sndio manpage turns up a few /dev/ devices.

I couldn't find anything in the /boot/modules or /boot/kernel directories about sndio, after installing.
You'll have to investigate OpenBSD to learn about if there are any modules.


Here is part of the output from installing...
bindir................... /usr/local/bin
datadir.................. /usr/local/share
includedir............... /usr/local/include
libdir................... /usr/local/lib
mandir................... /usr/local/man
user..................... _sndio
libbsd................... no
precision................ 16
alsa..................... no
oss...................... yes
sun...................... no
rmidi.................... yes
umidi.................... yes

It looks like this setup is for 16 bit (CD quality) playback, and not 24 bit playback.
