I have a problem with sound in FreeBSD9 stable as a VBOX guest. The
problem happens about 30-45 minutes after boot. While playing a stream
from the web the sound will suddenly stop. I see the following in the log:
Jan 15 16:36:06 BSD9 kernel: pcm0: chn_write(): pcm0:virtual:dsp0.vp0:
play interrupt timeout, channel dead
Jan 15 16:38:06 BSD9 kernel: pcm0: chn_write(): pcm0:virtual:dsp0.vp1:
play interrupt timeout, channel dead
I am using the hda driver in the FreeBSD guest, however I have tried
others and they do not work any better.
Below is relevant info from the VBOX host and the FreeBSD guest:

I have tried all combinations of settings for audio on the host in
VirtualBox, but still after some time the audio stops.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks to all developers and all those involved with the latest release.
The system seems very stable, make -j4 buildworld finishes on a quadcore
in about 70mins.
