Well, it really does sound like an interrupt problem...  The fact that you 
don't get sound on a FreeBSD boot, suggests that the interrupt your card
wants is not the one FreeBSD is giving it.  The slow printing suggests that
the soundcard is competing with the parallel port.  

I would think that the soundcard init program is soft-configuring the 
interrupt.

So, can you set the soundcard interrupt by jumper?  Is there a config
program that lets you allocate an interrupt manually?
