Unless the upstream script does quite a bit you're usually better off
starting with a generic OpenRC init.d script and just tweaking it vs trying
to convert a non-openrc script into an openrc one.
Another option is to just create an openrc script wrapper that just calls
the upstream one, which is installed elsewhere.
Ideally though you want to get pid files and such to show up in the right
place. However, if this is for oss I'm not sure you're even launching any
daemons vs just setting mixer levels and such. If you aren't actually
leaving any processes running calling the upstream script from a wrapper
should be pretty harmless. I haven't used openrc since it got cgroup
support but I suspect it is better about cleaning up orphans these days as
well.
