With your patch, I'm able to play mp3s if (and only if) I do not use boot -v. I kid you not : There's still a delay of approx. 3-4 seconds during mpg123's startup message and the first samlple of the first second. (This may be a problem with mpg123, allthough I did not experience this with the SB16). Other data points: cat /dev/sndstat still reports irq 0/dma 0: FreeBSD Audio Driver (981002) Jan 15 2000 12:58:51 Installed devices: pcm1: at 0xe000 irq 0 dma 0:0 I was able to caputre the output boot -v after increasing the kernel message buffer[0].

Changing the mixer settings for vol and/or pcm changes the output signal. Changing the other mixer settings may or may not result in rather strange behaviour. A few examples: ue@nathan$ mixer Mixer vol is currently set to 76:76 Mixer bass is currently set to 0:0 Mixer treble is currently set to 0:0 Mixer pcm is currently set to 76:76 Mixer speaker is currently set to 64:64 Mixer line is currently set to 64:64 Mixer mic is currently set to 64:64 Mixer cd is currently set to 64:64 Mixer rec is currently set to 64:64 Mixer ogain is currently set to 64:64 Mixer line1 is currently set to 64:64 Mixer phin is currently set to 64:64 Mixer video is currently set to 64:64 ue@nathan$ mixer line1 0 Setting the mixer line1 to 0:0. ue@nathan$ mixer Mixer mic is currently set to 49:49 Mixer line1 is currently set to 0:0 [all other values remain the same] mixer line1 64 Setting the mixer line1 to 64:64. ue@nathan$ mixer Mixer mic is currently set to 64:64 Mixer line1 is currently set to 64:64 ue@nathan$ mixer mic 0 Setting the mixer mic to 0:0. ue@nathan$ mixer Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0 [all other values are unchanged] ue@nathan$ mixer mic 64 Setting the mixer mic to 64:64. ue@nathan$ mixer line1 0 Setting the mixer line1 to 0:0. ue@nathan$ mixer Mixer vol is currently set to 76:76 Mixer bass is currently set to 0:0 Mixer treble is currently set to 0:0 Mixer pcm is currently set to 76:76 Mixer speaker is currently set to 64:64 Mixer line is currently set to 100:64 <--- Mixer mic is currently set to 64:64 Mixer cd is currently set to 64:64 Mixer rec is currently set to 64:64 Mixer ogain is currently set to 64:64 Mixer line1 is currently set to 0:0 Mixer phin is currently set to 64:64 Mixer video is currently set to 100:64 <--- Changing the mixer settings for bass and treble doesnt't affect the output nor the settings reported by the next mixer command.

I think if you've got a T-shirt with a bloodstain all over it, maybe laundry isn't your biggest problem. Maybe you should get rid of the body before you do the wash.
