Tried that, did not work. We are talking about 6.1-PRERELEASE here (tracking
6-STABLE on a irregular basis). I'll see what it does after my next update
(not now, and not soon... no time).
I decided to give up on it. My onboard-soundcard (VIA-chip, ASROCK mobo) has
had glitches with FreeBSD ever since I have it. I can't get my microphone
working eiter (something with the 5.1-over-output-ports idiocracy, which I
cannot use either). When I can get my hands on a decent 5.1-card, I'll try
again.

OK :) Thanks. Of all devices, sound is something I don't fully get on
FreeBSD. But as long as I can play my favo MP3-collection, I'm satisfied.
