It's a new driver for FreeBSD for some cards of the vendor RME, AFAIK they only sell really professional audio cards, used for broadcasting and by professional audio studios. I never heard of professional audio studios using FreeBSD, so it's very likely that FreeBSD users seldom spend that much money for cards, that ship with all kinds of audio interfaces, that aren't needed for averaged audio usage. I was a professional audio and video engineer, but for my home studio I only bought a relatively cheap RME card, the HDSPe AIO. http://www.rme-audio.de/en_products_hdspe_aio.php It comes with stereo AD/DA converters only, every elCheapo on-board audio device has got more AD/DA IOs. Costs around 500,- EUR / 650,- USD. Other RME gear is much more expensive. Regards, Ralf
