asaik, you should just be using this in your kernel

remake your kernel, reboot, go into /dev and type:
sh MAKEDEV snd1

after that you might need to type:
mixer vol 100:100 to make the volume be right

hope this helps.  I have a SB Pro 128 and it's been a research project just
to make sure I'm doing the right thing.   =>

hit the pcm man page if you have probs.

I've been using my Sound Blaster Pro card since FreeBSD 2.2.7
and it's been working perfectly for a long time.

For now I'm trying to get it working with FreeBSD 3.4
but it doesn't work properly.

My kernel configuration contains
--------------------------------------------------------------------
controller snd0
device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 7 drq 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------
and with this configuration my blaster was happy under FreeBSD 2.2.8

but now (FreeBSD 3.4) at the boot time it complains
--------------------------------------------------------------------
sb0 at 0x220 irq 7 drq 1 on isa
NOTE! SB Pro support required with your soundcard!
snd0: <Sound Blaster Pro 3.2>
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Moreover, while starting mpg123 I get multiple messages like
--------------------------------------------------------------------
SoundBlaster: DSP command(0xd4) timeout. IRQ conflict ?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
(even though it gets started and plays after these messages)

But some times it won't start at all!
complaining about
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Sound: DMA (output) timed out. IRQ/DRQ config error?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
And that time it's imposible to get it playing for a few minutes
and it takes me many attempts to get it started normaly

Believe me, I have this card configured properly.
It's an old card configured by jumpers, so I'm sure about the card
configuration.

It works fine with 2.2.8 in the same configuration.

Please, help me out.
