Hi.
I've compiled everything on 7.5 release and applied only 1 patch:
https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=171588776531605&w=2

I've noticed that while watching some videos, if I frequently spam sndioctl
commands (aka regulate volume level):
sndioctl output.level=+0.025
or
sndioctl output.level=-0.025

then SOMETIMES X11 or something crashes...
There are 2 types of crashes related to this bug.
case a:
  xenodm or X11 crash and I can safely skiddadle to the 1st tty and restart
  xenodm, everything works fine after that

case b:
  the entire display just stops getting signal, the computer is still running,
  is this some sort of harder crash?

So basically yeah, adjusting audio volume can crash your display and stuff.


You aren't getting more information because honestly I don't feel like anyone
appreciates my help and my attempts to make everything (and everyone) as better
as I can so we can live in a better world, rather than this shit and this
illusion of "the most secure operating system"
2nd reason is that I think I got banned from @misc and/or @ports, so I doubt
this will even go trough and that anyone'll see, so no need to try hard if none
will see this
3rd reason is that it's not bothering me that much, as it might bother you or
others, as I believe that using mpv a lot more than sndioctl should avoid this
bug
