>Release:        FreeBSD 9.1-RC3
>Organization:
CeDeROM
>Environment:
FreeBSD hexagon 9.1-RC3 FreeBSD 9.1-RC3 #0 r242324: Tue Oct 30 00:58:57 UTC 2012     root@farrell.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

>Description:
I have installed and started Skype (2.1 and 2.2 devel) with success on 9.1-RC3
using Linux binaries provided in port tree. However there is an issue
with default ALSA configuration and sound/calls does not work properly
off out the box. I suggest to set /dev/dsp0 and /dev/mixer0 as default
devices in the alsa configuration, so the sound works on the default/first
audio device. Right now it does not work at all. Maybe the /dev/dsp should point at the /dev/dsp0 instead..? How does the relation work?

cederom@hexagon:/home/cederom % ls -al /dev/dsp
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel    0, 181 Dec  2 14:41 /dev/dsp
cederom@hexagon:/home/cederom % ls -al /dev/dsp*
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel    0, 179 Dec  2 14:41 /dev/dsp0.0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel    0, 211 Dec  2 14:34 /dev/dsp0.1
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel    0, 181 Dec  2 14:41 /dev/dsp0.2
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel    0, 213 Dec  2 14:34 /dev/dsp1.1

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
# pcm-oss plugin configuration

pcm.oss {
        type oss
        device /dev/dsp0
        hint {
                description "Open Sound System"
        }
}

ctl.oss {
        type oss
        device /dev/mixer0
        hint {
                description "Open Sound System"
        }
}
