Before I blindly go off on a bisecting spree, does anyone have a
suggestion as to where I might look?

Electrically that's usually oscillation (too high gain or too much
electrical feedback) or an unshielded input.
Sorry, I should have been more clear. This problem doesn't occur in
windows, or linux, and last time I checked, didn't occur in freebsd 8. I
have everything irrlevant zeroed out in mixer.

It was worth a shot. It is possible that each OS (and version) is setting the associations up properly though except HEAD on your machine.
Is it a laptop or a desktop board?
Any difference in the nid configuration between freebsd 8 and HEAD?
Does changing any of the hw.snd sysctls (latency, exact rate, vpc_0db) have any effect on the sound?

http://freshbsd.org/commit/freebsd/r230551 might be worth a look. I couldn't find anything newer that looked like it would have an effect. Their are some earlier commits around January that are dealing with signal gain that could also have an effect.

Otherwise, I'm not sure where else to look.
