This is so wrong / undefined behaviour, since FreeBSD 5.x and beyond.
You should use sysctl hw.snd.unit _OR_ hw.snd.default_unit (depending
on FreeBSD version) to toggle default device for application that
requesting "/dev/dsp" or "/dev/mixer". Most application does not
really care about what unit they are accessing, all they care is
"/dev/dsp" (with the unit numbering being omitted).

Of course it didn't work, since the behaviour of forcing rm/ln is
undefined. You probably have to reboot or reload or re-attach, since
rm/ln will screw it.
