Indeed; I'd spent days googling around lists and pages, at last found:

http://gerda.univie.ac.at/freebsd-laptops/index.pl?action=show_laptop_detail&laptop=496

about the 1750, which was wrong (for the 1500c) about the device hints -
for unbridged devices, says sound(4) - but the needed clue for loading
both snd_sbc and snd_ess.

snd_ess(4) has been updated then; at 5.4 it didn't mention snd_sbc.

Building a 5-STABLE world right now, I'm a bit curious as to which of
the more recent sound stuff has found its way into 5.5 .. hi Ariff!

Cheers, Ian
