 You should have known that "-current" does mean "7". "6" is on its way
 to become "-stable".

 Would you kindly repeat that test after applying patch from
 http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/ ? Since you're using 'RELEASE', the
 appropriate patch is snd_RELENG_6_0_20051108_059.diff. It contains
 massive fixes, which unfortunately did not made its way into RELENG_6
 by the time of 6.0-RELEASE.
