Thank you.  I figured cubeb did not have a way to remember the last used 
microphone, but it did not hurt to ask and get confirmation.  :)

Also, thank you for writing an rc script to virtual_oss.  For now, I am 
still overjoyed that we have OSS support and my microphone actually 
works.

That is what I meant:  when committed to ports, a message on how to 
enable it would be good.  Everything looks good to me now.
