Cheers, Gary, but I can't hear you. 

Then: 


root@mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd:~ # service sndiod status
sndiod is running as pid 2912.
root@mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd:~ # service sndiod restart
Stopping sndiod.
Waiting for PIDS: 2912.
Starting sndiod.
root@mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd:~ # 


Then back to Firefox and Control-R, finally Gary is audible. 

media.cubeb.backend is not set.
