anyone using FreeBSD for audio stuff? I've

I've got an unused FreeBSD 9.x install. Once I needed it to test my RME
audio card. Since FreeBSD now is 10.x a few things might have changed a
little bit. IMO FreeBSD can't be used for audio production. Your VM
indeed isn't the best way to test audio abilities, but anyway, install
jackd, launch it and you already will notice a few annoyances.
FWIW Debian had a FreeBSD port, but when they switched to systemd, the
Debian FreeBSD port, with Linux user space software was dropped.

just die out.

Actually I use Linux (kernel and user space software) because it at
least _was_ about manifoldness and libre (FLOSS).
^"L" is for libre
