 If this is a plug-and-play card; you probably have to do what
I do.

 Plug-and-Play card's don't retain their settings after a cold-boot.

 So, to get my sound card working; I have a little DOS floppy I
boot from, that runs the sound card's setup program.  Then, I do
a warm boot (CNTL-ALT-DEL) to boot up FreeBSD.  At that point,
FreeBSD recognizes the sound card as a "normal" sound-blaster Pro, and 
everything works fine.

 I think some people are working on getting Plug-and-Play into
FreeBSD... is that true?
