R>Yup, that's OSS.  4Front is the company, OpenSound System, the product.
R>Doesn't work.  As I said, on the Toshiba, *everything* (afaict) is tied

I tried the OSS driver on my 4030CDT (3.3-R/PAO3) recently.

My first attempt had pcic0 on irq 11,
so the OSS driver failed as you described.

After moving pcic0 to irq 10, recompiling a kernel & rebooting,
the OSS driver appeared to install OK.
cat /dev/sndstat reported the driver,
mixer(1) reported a bunch of settings,
and output from xcdplayer found its way to the speakers,
which was a good thing.

Data through /dev/audio0 & /dev/dsp0, however,
were far from perfect !
That, and the apparent size of the OSS module (as reported by kldstat)
persuaded me to wait until something shows up in pcm for 3.x.
