The last time I tried FreeBSD enabling the digital outputs of my multimedia
audio controller was not supported. Lack of that feature has kept me using
Linux instead of FreeBSD. Will any future release support the feature?

What I got under the hood is "Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp.
82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)" and I believe it's
one of the most common integrated multimedia controllers around.
