Initialisation :)

Your soundcard needs initialising before it'll function in some way that 
linux understands and FreeBSD does not, once linux has done the dirty 
the card is then alive and kicking.

I have a similar issue with my wifi card and FreeBSD/Win2k dual booting, 
when i boot into bsd from cold all is well, if i boot into windows first 
and then go back to freebsd without a shutdown the cards isnt there, 
windows does something to my cardbus controler that stops it 
initialising properly under bsd, good thing i only boot win2k for 
ghosting :)
