Just to update this thread.

I got jitsi working on my desktop machine using a USB headset, but
failed to get it working on my Thinkpad X1 5th gen (with either the
built-in mic, or using a headset in the audio jack).

On my desktop:

 - kern.audio.record=1

 - sndiod_flags="-f rsnd/0 -f rsnd/1" in rc.conf.local.
   (rsnd/1 is the headset)

 - then in your shell rc:
   "alias jitsi='AUDIODEVICE=snd/1 firefox -p jitsi https://meet.jit.si/'"

   Note it's snd/1 not rsnd/1 in the above.

I used a new firefox instance so that only calls go via the headset.

As for video, in firefox, other people can see my video stream, but I
don't see theirs.

If I try the same in chrome, I see other people's video, but they don't
see mine.

Another thing to note is that mouse-overing the firefox window causes
jitsi to fade in a toolbar. That animation causes the audio to skip. I
wish I could kill it!

Nonetheless, that's enough for simple audio calls.
