Fetching distfiles from mirrors by default

[La Temperanza]

Hello,

I seem remember 4.7 had an option in /etc/make.conf to prefer
downloading from mirror sites (or sites matching a regex) by default. Is
there anything similar to this available in CURRENT without having to
rearrange (and most likely refuse) bsd.sites.mk?

Hmm.. using a shell script to ping and sort the file after each cvsup
might be sort of cool, but probably more trouble then it's worth. It's
only for those occasional huge distfiles where it really matters
(currently, the 77M games/vegastrike snatched from a PR.)

pcm breakage

[La Temperanza]

I haven't seen a message about this show up yet, so I'm thinking it may be an
isolated glitch. I rebuilt my system this morning to try and solve some spurious
reboots while using X, and ended up with this message being spammed about ten
times on startup.

/usr/src/sys/vm/uma_core.c:1330: could sleep with "pcm0:play:0" locked from
/usr/src/sys/dev/sound/pcm/sound.c:191

When I attempt to play any sound now, an annoying high-pitched whine comes out
the speakers until the process is terminated, and the dmesg buffer is
overwritten by hundreds of instances of this unhelpful message- "pcm0: pci
error". XMMS quits properly, but console commands like 'cat /dev/urandom >
/dev/dsp' seem to lock out Ctrl-C and need to be killed from another shell.

My exact environment:
FreeBSD tomoyo.sakura 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #17: Tue Feb 25 10:14:41

I hope someone can figure this out. Let me know if I can do more to diagnose the
problem.
