Quoting Alexander Motin <mav@FreeBSD.org> (from Tue, 06 Jan 2009 00:13:58 +0200): > On most systems having several devices is not a problem, as mostly > used analog connectors are usually detected first.

If yes, it would be more POLA to do this instead of requiring the users to do something. And related: do all detected analog ports appear in a sensible order? What I mean is again POLA related. If someone updates from 7.1 to 7.2, will he be required to do something to get sound out of the same connector as before when connecting to the default audio device? If not, is it possible for you to introduce some corresponding sorting before MFCing?
