If you use FreeBSD 3.1 or above, there is a driver, and it does work. Here's a
snippet from my dmesg:
es0: <AudioPCI ES1370> irq 5 at device 9.0 on pci0
pcm0: using I/O space register mapping at 0xd800
and sndstat:
norn[~]> cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (981002) May 13 1999 19:18:39
Installed devices:
pcm0: <ENSONIQ AudioPCI> at 0xd800 irq 0 dma 0:0
I can verify that it works, too. I've been using it since mid December.
All you need is a line like this in your kernel config file:
device pcm0
Easy enough?
