Likewise, I've been watching this (but not real closely), and can't
add much to help.  I do live sound and someday would like to try some
multichannel recording.  The most I currently do is take a stereo
board mix into a Linux netbook either to record or just to see
real-time spectrum information.

I mostly use FreeBSD on servers located in other rooms.  In fact, for
one of your problems, I wanted to try something on one server and
realized that I never even connected speakers after the last hardware
upgrade.

One basic question that you might have already answered is what is
your goal.  Are you mostly interested in playing sounds to outputs or
are you ultimately going to want to record/process input sounds?

Sound output is often easier (and better debugged) than sound input
and is an important first step.

You need to get something simple working for output first (playing a
file with audacious, mpd, vlc, opera).  It doesn't matter too much
which application.  I tend to use audacious for real things, but just
use mpg123 for test purposes, 'play' from sox is also useful.

Is appears that you do have sound output working (as above) on two
outputs of your device.  Is that two stereo pairs (pcm0/line and
pcm1/phone) or just one stereo pair?

I don't know much about jack and midi, but am interested in what you
can put together and get working.

I like BSD and it's my server OS of choice.  I'm curious where your
interest in BSD originates, since you appear to have had some luck
with Linux.

I hope to see you continue with this project and hope you have
success.
