You had to do a "./MAKDEV snd1" to use it in 3.4. This makes it link up with pcm1 that you are seeing in your boot. You may have to use "device pcm0" in your kernel. I was trying to find the sound card reference on http://www.freebsddiary.org/chronological.php3 but can't see it right now. What I saw was http://www.freebsddiary.org/sbvibra16.html, which worked for Dan.
