Playing with unsupported hardware, but thought I would give a report in case
anyone else was thinking of going down this road:
Purchased a MiniVox MV100 USB audio speakerphone. dmesg picks up the
following:
OpenBSD 3.8-beta (GENERIC) #119: Wed Aug 24 01:47:37 MDT 2005
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC
--SNIP-- (i hope this editing of the dmesg doesn't get me killed!)

Attmpting to access /dev/audio or /dev/sound gives a permission denied error

I'm not very experienced at messing aroung with audio on openbsd, and I can't
seem to find much information on how to start helping. This device seemed
interesting because it claims driverless use on Mac OS9, OSX, Windows ME,
etc.
