umm... i wasn't claiming to duplicate anyone's work. Most of all, I'd
like to tip my hat to Luigi and Cameron, for the the working code to use
my SB Live card.... and also Seigo for documenting the pcm info (man
pcm)!
 This was mainly a claim that "it's working on my machine". When I said
I got it to work, I did not mean to say that I was the one doing
development... just trying to get the word out that there is a working
driver for owners of that particular card. You can find me on IRC
sometimes, unable to count the number of times i've seen the question,
"Does FreeBSD support my SB Live?"
 For those of you who have seen the HOWTO i wrote, i've asked the
webmaster that it be modified to reflect it is for 5.0 only. To redeem
myself, I intend to write one up for 4.0 users sometime this weekend, if
all goes well. I plan to install 4.0 on another machine and take notes
on my sound card support installation sometime tomorow.
