Mine very often gives that same message about the DMA buffer when I
boot. I wrote to the tech support and they said it was a known bug in
FreeBSD. The solution is to run soundoff and then soundon again to
reload it until you succeed. But I never do. Even with the error
message, the sound still works.

I updated to 3.4 and I have no problems. Sorry I can't help. Write to
their tech support, they have always been very prompt and helpful for
me.
