OK, I have seven devices listed -- /dev/dsp0 to /dev/dsp6. I tested
each possibility and they all failed.

Quality sound reproduction has always been a problem with FreeBSD, but
this phenomenon of it suddenly failing to work is becoming a real PIA.
Obviously, the speakers and sound card are OK since mPlayer can play
music through them.

Unless you have any other ideas, I will just have to live with this BS
until FreeBSD-9.1 is released. I never mess with a version "x.0" of
anything -- almost anyway.
