Thanks Boris :-) I got some sound working after man 4 sound & fixed some
mistakes
	Modules not matching kernel, 
	Wrong driver in loader.conf,
These still fail:
   xcdplayer				# Fails from CDs in DVD drive
   cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 play 1	# Fails
But these work:
   ksmp3play file_from_disc.mp3		# Plays OK from hard disc
   vlc /cdrom       			# Plays OK from DVD
Anyone got a clue why ?

  ( The 2 identical <HL-DT-STDVD-RAM GH22NP20/1.02> are marked in
    PDF manual re sound 4 pin connector: "This connector is not
    supported" but as vlc plays sound via IDE cable .... ? )

I tried all 3 of 	sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=[0-2]
Only 0 seemed to produce sound

xcdplayer does play same music CD on abother DVD dribe on another box:
8.0 amd64 <Pioneer DVD-ROM ATAPIModel DVD-116 0109/E1.09>
though that other DVD drive has an audio cable connected.

Cheers,
Julian
