I entered these lines:

  # attempt to override the dsp0 input with the dsp1 input... doesn't work
  link dsp1.1 dsp0.1
  # this didn't do anything
  link dsp1.1 dsp1
  # this works... wanted to make sure I could do something.  :)
  link dsp1.1 microphone

and ran
  /etc/rc.d/devfs restart

# ll /dev/ | grep dsp

I can't seem to force the dsp1.1 to be the dsp0.1
