Hi There,

I'm hoping soneone can help me with sound card configuration:

(1)

I recently recompiled my Kernel, after having adding the following 2 
devices, as I have a Sound Blaster Live MP3+ Card (below):

device sbc
device pcm

(2)

I checked to see that the driver was successfully installed (below):

bash# cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Dec 17 2000 17:18:12
Installed devices:
pcm0: <Creative EMU10K1> at io 0x78a0 irq 5 (4p/3r channels duplex)


(3)

I created the following 2 device nodes (below):

bash# cd /dev
bash# sh MAKEDEV snd0
bash#
bash# sh MAKEDEV snd1
bash#

Please Note* I did 'not' receive any errors when createing the two device 
nodes (above). The handbook says it should return pcm0 and pcm1, this did 
not happen.

This created the following under /dev:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  6 Dec 17 17:52 audio -> audio1
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  4 Dec 17 17:52 dsp -> dsp1
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  5 Dec 17 17:52 dspW -> dspW1
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  6 Dec 17 17:52 mixer -> mixer1
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  6 Dec 17 17:52 music -> music1
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  10 Dec 17 17:52 sequencer -> sequencer1
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  4 Dec 17 17:52 pss -> pss1

I then installed XMMS 1.2.4 and attempted to play an mp3. I attempted to use 
the following devices as the output plugin and was given the following 
errors each time:

HELP?? Did I install the correct devices in my kernel (pcm AND sbc)?? I also 
tried all the same steps above with the following other two devices compiled 
in my kernel (pcm AND device sbc0 at isa? port0x220 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15). 
However, isn't my card a PnP ISA card??

HELP, what can I do??  :-(
