I've not seen this behaviour with a Vibra16 - but all I use it for is "radio".

I installed snd980607. The limited testing I gave it (can it play
No_Stranger_To_The_Skies.mp2, start / close FXTV (I still can't
get my **** tuner to work properly), and start radio) was fine. I
scanned the manual page, and that too seems OK to me.

In passing, somebody suggested in freebsd-doc that /kernel.config could contain:

USERCONFIG
pnp 1 0 os enable irq0 5 drq0 0 drq1 1 port0 0x220 port1 0x300 port2 0x388
pnp 1 1 os enable port0 0x201
quit

And, lo and behold, it does work. No need to remember to configure
your sound card each time you install a new kernel. I've not noticed
this in any of the documentation.
