            Bug ID: 295869
           Summary: virtual_oss unkillable
           Product: Base System
           Version: 15.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: bsd@orsolic.org

I'm running virtual_oss for changing between internal card (dsp2) and USB
(dsp5) on FreeBSD 15.1-RC2.
virtual_oss worked for days, switched sound between internal and external card
for Firefox, mpv, WINE.
I was toying with 2nd USB card (dsp6) which is RP2040 MCU with DSPi firmware,
but I am not sure if that provoked this.
That "sound card" produces sound on other FreeBSD PC without virtual_oss. On
this system trying to play something with mpv will result in stuck audio output
- no sound, timestamps are frozen, but there are no errors.
Tried to stop virtual_oss but it is still in the list of processes. Closed all
application which use sound, still unkillable.
