HW: Thinkpad T480 with T3 Dock.
SW: -current, r338952
With devmatch enabled in /etc/rc.conf (the default0, snd_uaudio
gets loaded automatically and finds the audio stuff in the dock,
which is connected to a screen output(s) I do not use.
Firefox ends up with /dev/dsp2.0 which goes there, and as a result
I get no sound through the laptops speakers where I expect it.
Obvious workaround: Disable devmatch.
Yet to be discovered workaround: Prioritize sound devices, when
there are multiple.
This kind of thing may cause some support-work when 12 comes out...

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
