I've been trying for a while now to get my sound setup working 
properly under FreeBSD.  My setup is:

Pentium 133
FreeBSD 2.1
AWE32 Soundblaster compat. card

It seems that the kernel has the correct configuration:

controller      snd0
device sb0      at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr
device sbxvi0   at isa? drq 5
device sbmidi0  at isa? port 0x330

And this is acknowleged on bootup without any complaints.

However, cat'ing a file to /dev/audio produces nothing.
I have a CDROM, and I _can_ get audio through the sound card 
using xcd or cdplayer.  I can also play audio files in Windows95.

So, can anyone give me any ideas???

Thanks in advance.
