M-Audio is now in my focus. Hope I will have more luck with the 5.1 version. Nearby, I tried to compile snd_envy24ht/snd_spicds into the kernel (FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT/AMD64, cvsupdated and makeworld yesterday), but the sources for this driver fail to compile (made a PR, sorry ahving the PR No. not handy). Compiling kernel without this driver and loading it as a module works fine for me.
