FreeBSD + Audio from Realtec ALC883 integrated in motherboard

fixit_fiona

I have one integrated soundcard in motherboard with Realtec ALC883 chip(?) and one PCI sound card ESS Solo-1E. FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE I need play differend mp3 on each of output. I have no problem with sound on PCI card, but can't understand, how to send sound form mpg123 to integrated soundcard (as I understand, there are no such device in /dev/). ls /dev/ : acpi atkbd0 devctl2 kbd1 mixer1 reroot ttyv2 ttyvd usbctl ad0 audit devstat kbdmux0...
