>Description:
        sound(4) man page claims that 'hw.snd.pcm%d.buffersize' can be configured
        via sysctl.  that's not true, however: in /sys/dev/sound/pcm/sound.c
        there is:

        SYSCTL_ADD_INT(snd_sysctl_tree(dev), SYSCTL_CHILDREN(snd_sysctl_tree_top(dev)),
            OID_AUTO, "buffersize", CTLFLAG_RD, &d->bufsz, 0, "");
 
        so the sysctl is read-only.  buffersize can be set via tunable
        'hint.pcm.0.buffersize', either in loader.conf or device.hints.

>How-To-Repeat:
	type 'man sound' and scroll two pages down.
