Summary: How to play .au, .wav files and is it possible to add swap ?

Hi,
I have FreeBSD 2.1 running and I built a kernel with sound. My card is
recognized and I would like to be able to play and record .au and .wav files.
Is there a utility for this, like the sound-kit for Linux ?
I set my system up with too little swap space and I would like to increase
it. Must I re-partition and re-load everything or can I make a swap-file
and "add" it to the swap space I already have. What I mean is that in Linux,
you can do: dd if=/dev/zero of=/swap bs=1024 count=16000
mkswap /swap 16000
swapon /swap
This will add 16MB swap space to what you already have. The /swap is the
name of any non-existant file, of course. Granted, a swapfile is
probably not as good as a swap partition, but you can at least add some
temporary space. Is there a way to do something similar in FreeBSD ?
Thanks for any help.
Dirk
