Hmm... Well, I've got FreeBSD 2.2-stable as of May 22, with a SB16 PnP
card and the Voxware drivers, and all I could get was "can't open device".

However, I decided to try the Luigi drivers, and just got done setting
them up, and now realplayer 5.0 seems to work fine.  

Are the Luigi drivers needed to run realplayer?  I though from reading
the message archives that either driver set would work, but maybe I was
misinterpreting them.

Anyhow, are the Luigi drivers the way to go nowadays?  I'm fairly strongly
interested in keeping up w/ the current reccommended practices of FreeBSD,
since I'm both using it at home for myself, and, perhaps more critically,
supporting it for a number of people here within the department. 
(People have been fairly well impressed so far w/ FreeBSD, so I really
want to track down these sorts of things to keep them happy.)
