Hi Markus,

(Sorry it took so long to get around to writing a reply!)

I took a look at your document, and while it was clear and well-written, IMHO,
I don't really think it's covering any new ground, that isn't already covered
in the handbook at present.

You'll notice that, except the 'Device sbc0' line, your document could describe
how to install _any_ soundcard under FreeBSD, because installing a Creative
Awe64 (I have one in my FreeBSD box as well) isn't really that different from
installing any other card that is covered by pcm0.

Having said that it would be useful to keep around to give to people on
-questions who are still finding things a bit tricky.

Thanks! :-)
