I see 3.x sound devices. For example, FreeBSD 4.x uses "device pcm".
Your dmesg shows a Crystal Sound card, which requires a "device csa".
See http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/x8615.html. Don't forget to remake
your /dev/snd0.

I don't have Crystal Sound card so this is only from reading the
Handbook and from using SoundBlaster audio equipment. I have been
replacing anything that requires the "device sbc" option.
