I have the same issue on the Thinkpad 600E (2645-4au). The generic kernel 
doesn't pick up the Crystal CS4239 sound chip. If you add "device pcm" to 
your kernel you get this:

"csa0: <CS4610/CS4611> mem 0x50000000-0x500fffff,0x50100000-0x50100fff irq 
11 at device 6.0 on pci0
csa: card is Unknown/invalid SSID (CS4610)
device_probe_and_attach: csa0 attach returned 6"

The problem is that the CS4239 sound chip actually functions this way:
1. Setup: IRQ 5, DMA channels: 01 & 00, I/O 0220-0233;0388-038B;0530-0537
2. There is also the IBM DSP at: IRQ 10, DMA channels: 07, I/O 0130-013F. 
Hmmm.
3. The sound chip hangs off of the Intel 82371AB chip using PCI->ISA 
bridging using EIO mode.
4. Most Soundblaster compatible chips are configured this way:
IRQ 5, DMA Channels: 01 & 05, I/O 0220-022F, 0330-0331, 0388-038B (Micron 
Transport LT - SENSPRO680-PIII600 Laptop).

So, I think I just have a case of pilot error. I had the Sound chip partly 
configured so that the new kernel could see the device but didn't have it 
properly configured for the IRQ. I decided to go back to the GENERIC kernel 
and retest loading with kldload. Oh, the BIOS doesn't have an option to turn 
off PNP mode. It works with Windows NT so I figured it should work fine 
here.

Also, I'm leaving KDE out of the picture until I can just get Waveplay 
working. Seems the problems are the same. I may have to configure device 
csa0 for Irq 5.

Here is what someone else had as an option:
1. controller pnp0
2. device pcm0 at isa? port? tty irq 5 drq 5 flags 0x15

The "controller pnp0" is no longer used and "device pnp0" won't work either. 
I did notice "tty" in this statement that is not in the docs under "man 
pcm". Help anyone?
