ncpamixer fails at runtime:

W: [(null)] caps.c: Normally all extra capabilities would be dropped now, but that's impossible because PulseAudio was built without capabilities support.

Is your pulseaudio compiled with libcap?

[yurivict]

I use pulseaudio-14.2 and it doesn't have the string libcap anywhere in the source tree.

pulseaudio isn't compiled with capabilities support https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/audio/pulseaudio/Makefile#n45

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/blob/stable-14.x/configure.ac#L644-655

[yurivict]

pcap can't be enabled in PulseAudio on FreeBSD because PulseAudio uses non-POSIX header sys/capability.h, see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72580

I remember that previous versions of ncpamixer worked fine on FreeBSD. Does it really need libpcap support in PulseAudio?

[SuperSandro2000]

It may be that I followed a false flag. The caps warning is only a warning and may or may not have something to do with this https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/blob/stable-14.x/src/daemon/caps.c#L95-97
