I'm using FreeBSD 3.2 with a patch to the sound card drivers to make that card work. My understanding is that the patch breaks compatibility with the ES1370, but it my case I didn't care :-) It's been playing MP3's fine ever since. Check out the following post I found : (the url may wrap ) http://x37.deja.com/[ST_rn=ap]/getdoc.xp?AN=491097363&CONTEXT=931301992.1116733571&hitnum=0 You can grab the patch from the following url : ftp://ftp.thebarn.com/outgoing/es1371.patch As far as I can tell Russell Cattelan ( cattelan@thebarn.com ) did the patch and he deserves the credit. If others were involved, thank you also, it's nice having a sound card that works with FreeBSD.
