Richard,

I suggest that you contact Mr. Steve Haehnichen @ Vigra in
San Diego. He is a virtual WIZARD with SoundBlaster stuff
and is also very familiar with the BSD O/S way of doing things.

I don't have his e-mail, but the web site is: http://www.vigra.com

Look under the VGS Product / Silicon Graphics Guide for more
information on finding Steve.
