Right, I got the two confused.  Thanks for the correction.

If we could include the source in src/sys/gnu w/o putting it in the default
kernel and be legit, sounds like a good idea to me.

Who do we know that could double check the license issues and do the
commit?

For the synth part of the SB32/AWE32 cards, an older version of the same
driver's in the tree, but not another driver altogether that I know of.
The existing SB/SB16 drivers provide the DSP support for these cards.
