 Missed that one, and it works now:
 
 $ audiocfg list
 0: [*] audio0 @ hdafg0: ATI Technolog R6xx HDMI, 2 playback channels
 1: [ ] audio1 @ hdafg1: VIA TeCHnolog VT1708S, 2 playback channels
 2: [ ] audio2 @ pad0: Virtual Audio 7.99.27, 2 playback channels
 
 I would have thought just selecting an audio device in an application
 would be fairly simple, but I see that is not the case, thus audiocfg.
 
 Please close the pr.
 
 Thanks
