Hi Gary,

I can't help you with the rest of your problems, but sysctl(8) 
configuration is done in /etc/sysctl.conf.

My entries read:

thinkpad% grep hw.snd /etc/sysctl.conf 
hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=4
hw.snd.maxautovchans=4
thinkpad% 

If I recall correctly, these lines are just copied from the handbook or 
a FAQ entry.

I hope that helps.
