With devfs, the default sound unit is tunable by a sysctl. tube# sysctl hw.snd.unit=0 ; ls -l dsp dsp0.0 dsp1.0 ; sysctl hw.snd.unit=1 ; ls -l dsp dsp0.0 dsp1.0 hw.snd.unit: 1 -> 0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 3 Aug 5 11:24 dsp crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 3 Aug 5 11:24 dsp0.0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 19 Aug 5 11:24 dsp1.0 hw.snd.unit: 0 -> 1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 19 Aug 5 11:24 dsp crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 3 Aug 5 11:24 dsp0.0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 19 Aug 5 11:24 dsp1.0 --Mat -- sig machine broken.
