It does work for me on OpenBSD. On OpenBSD, libao directly uses
sndio. The libao package is configured with the following parameters:

                --disable-arts \
                --disable-esd \
                --disable-nas \
                --disable-pulse


So, now I need to check how I can apply that on the Sndio backend ;)
