Well, finally got it working....  Everything seems to work right except
for the Real Audio player :-( The Real Audio player can play its own
welcome.ra perfectly, but when it tries to play anything from the net, I
hear 2 sounds like "rips" and then I get error #50 about being unable to
open the audio device.  It does say "buffering", so I don't think it is a
net problem. Anyone have any ideas on this one? 

I can still open welcome.ra and play the demo without any problems, so I
guess this one is a RA bug.  Anyone else using MSS/WSS emulation?  BTW
s3mod is quite good.  I'm surprised. 

There's sound now and FreeBSD no longer reboots.  For the record (and
those who read the mailing list archives)... 

I am using MSS/WSS mode with FreeBSD 2.1.6R on the Televideo EX16 3D ISA
PNP Sound Card. MSS/WSS Base Address 0x530, Irq 10, DMA 1.

I guess FreeBSD doesn't like the PCI irq in the bios set to Level.  
Setting it to "Edge" in the CMOS plays the music properly.  I still could 
not get the 8-bit Sound Blaster Pro emulation to work even with the 
"Edge" setting, but I am satisfied with the 16 bit MSS/WSS emulation.  
Oh well, I guess I will wait for the next RA beta for FreeBSD.

Thanks to all who wrote back to my requests for help.

Howard Lew
