Hi,

qTox depends on OpenAL (port audio/openal-soft) for audio support. I found now
that it fails when PULSEAUDIO=off (which is a default).

So the best thing you can try is to turn PULSEAUDIO=on for audio/openal-soft:

# cd /usr/ports/audio/openal-soft
# config .... set PULSEAUDIO=on
then:
# portupgrade -f openal-soft

When PULSEAUDIO=on, qTox only shows /dev/dspN devices, no strings like
"pcm3:play:dsp3".

Please let me know if it works for you with PULSEAUDIO=on

Yuri
