Hi Gary,

I have been poking around on my new OpenIndiana and it seems that my audio
is also located on /dev/sound/1

How can I get a configuration somewhere sow that the system uses it instead
of trying to use /dev/sound/0

I put AUDIODEV=/dev/sound/1 in my profile but that does not seem to help
Cheers,
Lonnie
