I have installed the raplayer and have had good results. Assuming you installed the kernel sources, you already have the necessary "VoxWare" bits. Look in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT and find this section: : : # # Audio drivers: `snd', `sb', `pas', `gus', `pca' # # snd: Voxware sound support code # sb: SoundBlaster PCM - SoundBlaster, SB Pro, SB16, ProAudioSpectrum # sbxvi: SoundBlaster 16 : : Also read the docs in /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/sound/sound_config.h Transplant the necessary sections from LINT into your own kernel config and build it. Look out for the IRQ numbers in the soundblaster drivers. I was bitten by that and had a hard time sorting it all out. You will have to be sure that the files in /usr/src/sys/i386- /isa/sound and the config lines for sb0 and sbxvi0 all agree on the IRQs. RealAudio for FreeBSD works quite well. I'm pleased that they have made it available. Good luck!
