I'm having a problem which sounds similar, perhaps it's related? I'm trying to use the Griffin iMic USB audio device (http://www.griffintechnology.com/audio/imic_main.html). This device works perfectly for me with linux (except that it doesn't support full duplex, but I'm not sure it's supposed to). With FreeBSD I tried the USB audio patch at http://www.mars.sphere.ne.jp/navi/uaudio/ which I was pointed to on this list. It works for audio output but not for input. On linux, when I insert it, two mixer devices get registered (/dev/sound/mixer and /dev/sound/mixer1), the former for PCM output and the other for mic input, and I can read or write to /dev/sound/dsp. On freebsd, I can't read from /dev/dsp and there is only one mixer device, the PCM output one, no recording device. In addition, it's terribly unstable -- every now and then it causes a kernel panic, which is in particular triggered by removing the device when sound output is going on, but can happen otherwise too apparently randomly. I guess it's a problem with the USB audio driver. I don't really know how to investigate this further (I can take a kernel crash dump and run kgdb on it but I can't understand the results). I did email the author on the above webpage. (It's perfectly stable on linux.)
