I just downloaded the driver and took a first glance on this. The impression was: negative. They supplied some opaque .o files in ELF format, and doing nm on them reveals that they require some external symbols whose name tends to be Linux-centric (linux_acquire_device_spinlock, for an example). Aureal's webpage says Aureal is preparing a 100%-pure source distribution as well as the programming information docs. I think FreeBSD driver is unlikely to come out until that point.
