I think that someone (in the core team?) did it with an AWE 32/64, I'm
sure others have but I've not yet got my AWE 64 going yet. Besides, last
time I tried to use OSS my computer started crashing a lot, but then I had
a really cheap CS4232 (eh?) or something that couldn't even emulate 20% of
a soundblaster.

I think you really just need the exact right card, nothing else ever
works great - my one great gripe with FreeBSD.
