I understand I will have my new driver at http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/FreeBSD.html supports PnP and SoundBlaster16. I strongly suggest you _not_ to buy a SoundBlaster, and instead go for some cheap Windows Sound System-compatible card, e.g. the AOpen AW35 or others based on the Crystal CS423x, Yamaha, or if you have no other chance, OPTI931 chipsets. The WSS clones support 16-bit full duplex, whereas the SB16 can only do full duplex with a trick and with lower quality (8 bit only on one channel).
