Here's the information about the sound card I am working with:

My sound card is a SBPCI128 by Creative Labs.

I only used the card with FreeBSD 3.2

The only line I had to add to my kernel config file was:

        device pcm0 at isa? port ? tty irq 10 drq 1 flags 0x0

(This causes a message "pcm0 not found" to appear at boot time but
 just ignoring it seems to be o.k. - allthough I would prefer
 not to see it, at all.)

These are the messages that appear previous to the message "pcm0 not found":

        es1: <AudioPCI ES1370> rev 0x01 int a irq 5 on pci0.9.0
        pcm1: using I/O space register mapping at 0xe400

I had to build the audio device snd1:

        # cd /dev
        # sh MKDEV snd1

and to use the mixer to set the volume to another value than 0.
I use the following script /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mixer.sh at boot time:

        #!/bin/sh
        /usr/sbin/mixer vol 60:60 pcm 60:60 cd 60:60

Well, I guess, I should not be listed as the contributor, because I 
catched these information out of the mailing lists and would prefer
the original poster to appear as the contributor.

Cheers,

Dirk
