Awesome!  Now I can get rid of that cheapo ESS sound card I bought just
for FreeBSD and stop worrying about Aureal going under...

One strange thing I noticed when changing mic settings with
/usr/sbin/mixer:

gaddeppp gadde [0] 43> mixer mic
Mixer mic      is currently set to   0:0
gaddeppp gadde [0] 44> mixer mic 50
Setting the mixer mic to 50:50.
gaddeppp gadde [0] 45> mixer mic
Mixer mic      is currently set to  23:50
gaddeppp gadde [0] 58> mixer mic 60
Setting the mixer mic to 60:60.
gaddeppp gadde [0] 59> mixer mic 
Mixer mic      is currently set to  33:60
gaddeppp gadde [0] 60> mixer mic 70
Setting the mixer mic to 70:70.
gaddeppp gadde [0] 61> mixer mic
Mixer mic      is currently set to  43:70

It sounds fine, the reported values just look screwy.  "mic" seems like
the only mixer device affected.

I have an MX300, and am running 4.0-STABLE, though my last cvsup was
April 2.

relevant dmesg output:
pcm0: <Aureal Vortex 8830> port 0xe800-0xe807,0xe400-0xe407 mem 0xe7100000-0xe71
3ffff irq 10 at device 9.0 on pci0
pcm1: <SB DSP 3.01 (ESS mode)> on sbc0
unknown1: <ESS ES1869 Plug and Play AudioDrive> at port 0x201 on isa0
