I'm starting to really confuse myself but right now I have

# sysctl hw.snd.default_unit
hw.snd.default_unit: 1

My /compat/linux/etc/alsa/pcm/pcm-oss.conf

pcm.oss1 {
        type oss
        device /dev/dsp1
        hint {
                description "Open Sound System"
        }
}

ctl.oss1 {
        type oss
        device /dev/mixer1
        hint {
                description "Open Sound System"
        }
}

And I can't find a reason for it to not work. but to not give up, because
it worked fine a couple of weeks ago and on an upgrade it died but I left
it for a few days and now.  :(

Wit the above testing I found the following errors specifically for skype:
