Can you give me a few hints on what would be necessary to get the old
driver to work with the new PnP?  I confess ignorance of both PnP and
soundcard programming, but I am willing to try to fix it if fixing it
is within my means.

It's amazing that one of the most popular sound cards of all time, one
that works fine on practically every OS from DOS3.3 to Linux and BeOS,
is of no concern to FBSD developers :-/
