SOUND(4)'s hw.snd.verbose section

hi there,

i read the SOUND(4) manual and i think the hw.snd.verbose section requires
some changes.

the section claims that hw.snd.verbose changes the level of verbosity of
/dev/sndstat. that seems true for hw.snd.verbose={0,1,2,3}, but not for 4. in
fact setting hw.snd.verbose=4 doesn't change the /dev/sndstat verbosity, but
prints extra debugging info during boot up.

so unless hw.snd.verbose=4 was set in /boot/loader.conf it seems to be equal to
hw.snd.verbose=3.

can anybody confirm my assumption? i could submit a patch for the SOUND(4)
manual in that case.

cheers.
alex
