I can't seem to get my Soundblaster 16 to work in FreeBSD 2.0-R.  I compiled
the kernel with these devices:

	device snd5 at isa? port 0x300 irq 6 vector mpuintr
	device snd2 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr
	device snd6 at isa? port 0x220 irq 7 drq 5 vector sbintr
	device snd7 at isa? port 0x300
	device snd1 at isa? port 0x388

(Offhand, I'd like to know exactly what snd2 and snd6 are, and, well, the rest
of them as well.  I've gathered that snd5 is the MIDI port, but that's it...)

Here is what dmesg reports:

	snd5 at 0x300 irq 6 on isa
	snd5 not probed due to irq conflict with fdc0 at 6
	snd2 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa
	snd2: <SoundBlaster Pro 4.11>
	snd6 not probed due to I/O address conflict with snd2 at 0x220
	snd7 at 0x300 on isa
	snd7: <SoundBlaster MPU-401>
	snd1 at 0x388 on isa
	snd1: <Yamaha OPL-3 FM>

And this is lsdev's report:

I can cat .au files to /dev/pcaudio, but /dev/audio says it's not configured
and "PCM device 0 not installed" appears on the console.  I feel like I'm
missing something.  Could someone tell me what to do?

Thanks,
Geordan
