It sounded from the original posting that the card has a dos  initilization
sequence to enable the sound blaster emulation and that we don't
have such an initialization on FreeBSD.

Personally, I have a GUS MAX which for low end systems is great since
it can do .au file decompression and playback on the card or
play mod files without tying up the cpu :)

	Enjoy,
