Hi.

I have been following the thread(s) about getting the SoundBlaster
Vibra 16 sound-cards working in -current, and it appears that if
you have a PnP card, it seems to be working.

I do not have a PnP version of this card, and the last time I was
able to get the sound card recognised was October 2nd. A verbose
boot of that kernel reveals

sb_probe: no addr, trying (0x220, 0x240)
pcm: <SoundBlaster 16 4.13) at irq 10 drq 3 flags 0x17 on isa0
sb_probe: no addr, trying (0x220, 0x240)
pcm: setmap 4c0000, ff00; 0xc80b500 -> 4c000
pcm: setmap 4d0000, ff00; 0xc80c500 -> 4d000

and /dev/sndstat reveals

FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Oct 2 1999 14:30:27
Installed devices:
pcm0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.13> at io 0x220 irq 10 drq 3:7 (1/1 channels duplex)

With subsequent kernels, including a -current kernel from 20 Dec, the 
sound card is not detected. The definitions I'm using in my kernel 
currently (no pun intended :) are

#sound card
device pcm0
device sbc0 at isa? port ? irq 10 drq 3 flags 0x17

as compared to what I had

device pcm0 at isa? port ? irq 10 drq 3 flags 0x17

The card is probed if the machine is booted with a kernel of
Oct 2, and not probed if the machine is botted with a kernel
of Dec 20.

The only other thing I can think of is that the old kernel
had support for PnP, whereas the new ones doesn't. This shouldn't
matter though if I'm supplying the parameters directly to the card.
