A problem with this is FreeBSD's backend sound architecture allows one device input or output at a time.
cat /dev/sndstat shows this, which I believe is OSS. There is sndio's backend sndiod (from OpenBSD) that can alternatively be enabled, but I hear the volume on it is too low, and I'm not sure if it allows multiple devices. sndiod's backend can be enabled by service sndiod start: it is in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/.
