I searched around some more and found a suggestion to add several other
devices to my kernel. I added the following:
controller snd0
device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 7 conflicts drq 1 vector sbintr
device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 5
device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330
# Yamaha OPL-2/OPL-3 FM - for SB, SB Pro, SB16, PAS
device opl0 at isa? port 0x388
Recompiled and rebooted. Now, cat'ing a .au file to /dev/audio begins to
play the sound (1.5 seconds or so) but then the card goes quiet and the
cat just site there until I control-c out of it.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much!
