This is what I understand from the -questions mailing list: Under 3.x: No support from the FreeBSD project itself. In order to use your SBLive! card, you must purchase drivers from http://www.opensound.com/ (This is what I'm doing) The Opensound drivers work well with almost everything (mtv, an mpeg player from MpegTV being one notable exception). Under 4.x: There is some experimental support from FreeBSD-native sources, see http://wcug.wwu.edu/~cjohnson/sblive4.txt for a howto I nabbed from the -questions list (I didn't write this, and haven't tried it yet). Under 5.x: See: http:///www.defcon1.org//html/Hardware_Articles/PnP_Sound/PnP_Modem/SB-Live/body_sb-live.html for more info on SBLive! support under 5.x-current.
