They'll be selling binaries as soon as 2.2 is released, then 6-9 months after, 
the source will be made available to the FreeBSD people. That's what they told 
me the last time I looked anyway. I'm considering hacking in support for the  
mmaping of DMA buffers and the GETCAPS ioctl into -currents driver, which 
after a couple of tweaks to the Linux emulation, would allow Quake sound to be 
audible.
