I started running short on disk space for the non-production FreshPorts hosts. This time, I have decided to ask for donations. See my recent blog post which points to my Patreon account.

audio/virtual_oss_equalizer: New port

Although src commit 9cab9fde5eda ("virtual_oss: Port to base") includes
the equalizer utility, we do not hook it to the src build, because it
depends on the third party library fftw3, so we build it as a port
instead.

The port simply builds the files from src, which is not ideal, as this
means that the src repo needs to be present in the system in order for
the port to build, but this way we can avoid version mismatches and
ifdef hell as the project progresses.

Note that this is an extension for the base system virtual_oss, and not
audio/virtual_oss.
