I have recently installed FreeBSD 2.1.0 on a pc (Compaq 486) and am
having alot of trouble getting a SoundBlaster 16 card working.  (my real goal is
to get the MBONE multicasting tools sd and vat working, but first I
thought I should verify that the sound card works)

i) I configured my kernel with the following statements in the config file:
controller snd0
device sb0      at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 conflicts drq 1 vector sbintr
device sbxvi0   at isa? drq 5
device sbmidi0  at isa? port 0x330
device opl0     at isa? port 0x388 conflicts

options  ALLOW_CONFLICT_IOADDR
options  ALLOW_CONFLICT_IRQ

note: I do not have any other devices
configured for IRQ5

ii) The kernel reports the following upon boot up:
sb0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa
sb0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.11>
sbxvi0 at 0x0 drq 5 on isa
sbxvo0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.11>
sbmidi0 at 0x330 on isa
 <SoundBlaster MPU-401>
opl0 at 0x388 on isa
opl0: <Yamaha OPL-3 FM>

iii) cat /dev/sndstat reports the following:
VoxWare Sound Driver:3.0-beta-950506 (Sun Feb 5 14:38:12 EST 1995 freebsd-hacker
s@freefall.cdrom.com)
Config options: ffffffff

Installed drivers:
Type 1: OPL-2/OPL-3 FM
Type 2: SoundBlaster
Type 6: SoundBlaster16
Type 7: SB16 MIDI


Card config:
SoundBlaster at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1
SoundBlaster16 at 0x0 irq 65535 drq 5
SB16 MIDI at 0x330 irq 65535 drq 4294967295
OPL-2/OPL-3 FM at 0x388 irq 65535 drq 4294967295

Audio devices:
0: SoundBlaster 16 4.11

Synth devices:
0: Yamaha OPL-3

Midi devices:
0: SoundBlaster 16 Midi

Timers:
0: System Timer

Mixers:
0: SoundBlaster


iv) cat filename.au >/dev/audio results in no sound and cat hangs
without quitting.

v) cat  filename >/dev/dsp results in no sound and cat hangs
without quitting.

Is there anyone who could help me with some advice on how
to get this working? Thankyou.
