it is anything sound related at all.  I looked at making patches that 
replace the ioctl call to APMIO_GETINFO with a call to APMIO_GETPWSTATUS

Looking at /usr/src/sys/i386/apm/apm.c, bios calls are made for 
GETPWSTATUS as well, and the music skips when i make the call.

i'm rather naive here - is there another way i can query the hardware in 
freebsd-stable to get the battery status?  am I correct in assuming that 
  ACPI in -current is a better option?

Thanks

Matthew
