Many thanks to Ben Smithurst and Mark Ovens regarding my lack of sound.
Both of these FreeBSD gentlemen responded to my questions to get the
aforementioned card to work. The short of it is that I was able to
config the kernel with support and could see with dmesg and sndstat that
things should work. They did not. After a little fiddling and following
a suggestion to

#cd /dev
#sh MAKEDEV snd0

I tested the sound and it works. Thanks guys. 

I did #MAKEDEV sndo and that did not do it! Go figure,
I had to do #sh MAKEDEV snd0

Also I gotta say, FreeBSD kicks ass in a big way. It is amazing to be
able to do so much to a system and NOT requite a reboot! I am well on my
way to leave M$ way behind me.... YIPPEEEEEE

Funny thing is that I cannot yet get music to play from the cd through
the sound card. Oh well, one hurdle at a time. And yes, I do have the
sound cable connected. ;-)
