 Thanks, it works!
 
 The interesting thing is with snd_hda. When CPU is
 100% loaded (at least one core), it works, but with
 some crackling noise instead of the basses. When CPU
 is idle, the noise makes sound virtually inaudible.
 OTOH, snd_uaudio works great either way. I guess I'll
 have to discuss that with you in a separate thread/PR.
 
 My laptop hard drive developed bad blocks during the
 trip to EuroBSDCon. I'll bring it in for repairs
 tomorrow. I'll be glad to test whatever you throw at
 me when it's fixed.
 
 Thank you very much!
