I have been using *nix-like operating systems since 1996 or so. Since
2000, I've used a *nix-like OS as my everyday desktop and rarely use
Windows.

Recently, I decided to try FreeBSD, the setup was fairly similar to some
other OS's I've used and the documentation I've read so far seems to be
fairly thorough. Obviously, a lot of it is still being updated for the
5.x series.

Forgive me if the following has been thoroughly answered somewhere, but
I feel like I've done my due diligence in reading the 5.0 documentation
and scouring the mailing lists.

I have discovered that my SoundBlaster Audigy can be detected by the
current emu10k1 driver, but the PCI ID detection case for it has been
commented out for whatever reason. Uncommenting it causes the driver to
load and to create the various /dev/dsp devices, but starting up XMMS or
Gnome CD player produces no sound, the volume control application runs
and I can set volume levels, but it has no effect either. The card works
fine in other operating systems present on my system so I know the
speakers and other things are connected correctly.

Is there someone familiar with the development of the emu10k1 driver for
FreeBSD that I could either assist in debugging the driver, or that
could give me some helpful pointers in regards to fixing the driver
myself. I am amicable to either solution.

While I'm waiting for the rotten fruit to duck, is there documentation
or some "hacking resources" available for writing drivers that work
under FreeBSD 5.0?
