I'd be interested in knowing what cards *do* work for recording. My SB quit working with 4.0-RELEASE. The old snd drivers didn't work (compiled, but didn't recognize the card, if I remember correctly). So I bought a Trident 4DWave card which is listed in pcm(4) as working - and it doesn't record *either*. Any one of these things - an "upgrade" that loses this critical bit of functionality; breaking the old drivers; not documenting which devices work properly - would be irritating, but no more so than most software products are. All three of them together give the impression that audio recording just isn't important for FreeBSD post 3.x. If I'm wrong, and these cards *should* record - could someone tell me what applications I should be using?
