How do I tell which driver I need for sound?

[Waitman Gobble]

Try ports/audio/oss - it's a much newer version than oss in base. Many more
features, and there's an x mixer that's really great. Caveat - might not
use the drivers in ports/audio/oss if you have any sort of usb sound device
(microphone, speakers, etc.) Last time I experimented with it would cause
bad things to happen. (You can use the mixer and ossinfo tool without using
the drivers in the port., eg. ossxmix and ossinfo)
