Unfortunately. for me, it's *not* working.  :-(

Tried it with my crummy motherboard Crystal CS4232 audio, no go.  Decided it 
was time to do something about my lack of quality sound, so bought a 
Soundblaster AWE 64.  Still no go.  :-(

The SB works fine under Win95, but not with OSS.  I think it's a conflict 
with the Crystal hardware, but there doesn't seem to be any way to 
completely disable the CS4232 (my system is an HP Pavilion 7160, if anyone's 
wondering).

Drag!

BTW, didn't I see someone posting something about PnP in FreeBSD recently?  
Is this a new feature in 3.0?  Perhaps that would solve my problems.

In the meantime, I guess it's back to the old Voxware/kernel stuff <crossing 
fingers>.

Sign me "Frustrated". <sigh>

(And yes, I'm posting this from Win95.  Got a cool new sound card; I wanna 
use it!).  :-)
