I have problems with my SB Live card.

emu10k isn't working very well in FreeBSD (4.5-stable).

Check out the problem reports, search for 'emu10k'.  I even followed
up on one of them.

As others have suggested esound works well -- in fact mp3s sound
fairly good with xmms-esound (not great though).

But wav files are cut off with popping noises, and without esound
wav files are completely hosed.

I hear -current has some or all of these problems solved though.
