Could you (or any other Blade 100 user) please give the following
patch at try?
http://people.freebsd.org/~marius/t4dwave_sparc64_32-bit.diff
This gets at least the line-out of the M5451 in my Blade 1500
working (I've no idea whether its internal speaker is also
connected to the sound chip like for example in a Blade 1000
and thus supposed to also work or just to a PC-style beeper,
the firmware at least makes it beep that way...), but which
also has a newer revision of this chip.
