Hello,

I'm having a hell of a time trying to get FreeBSD-4.2 to compile a
new Kernel with SoundBlaster-16 (isa) support.

The information at the "handbook" site gave some config options
that gave errors as being now deprecated, which leads me to ask
for some help.

device pcm ? 

device sbc ?

device sbc0 ?

At the website http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Sound-HOWTO-6.html
it mentions the following about the CT-4170

6.35 Problems with a SB16 CT4170

There seems to be a new type of Soundblaster - it was sold to us
as a SB16 - the Model no. on the Card is CT4170. These Beasties
only have one DMA channel so when you try to set them up then the
kernel will have trouble accessing the 16 bit DMA.

The solution is to set the second DMA to 1 so that the card will
behave as advertised.

Any help would be appreciated.
