FreeBSD hexagon 9.1-RC3 FreeBSD 9.1-RC3 #0 r242324: Tue Oct 30 00:58:57 UTC 2012     root at farrell.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

>Description:
I have installed and started Skype (2.1 and 2.2 devel) with success on 9.1-RC3
using Linux binaries provided in port tree. However there is an issue
with default ALSA configuration and sound/calls does not work properly
off out the box. I suggest to set /dev/dsp0 and /dev/mixer0 as default
devices in the alsa configuration, so the sound works on the default/first
audio device. Right now it does not work at all. Maybe the /dev/dsp should point at the /dev/dsp0 instead..? How does the relation work?
