It's weird; OSS detects both my motherboard audio (also PnP) and the AWE
64, but won't configure either of them properly, even if I do a manual
configuration. Either it starts up OK (soundon), but doesn't work right,
or it hangs the system at startup. I've tried just about every possible
reasonable configuration with it and still no luck. Is my system just
jinxed or something? :-)
While we're on the subject, what's the status of PnP support in
FreeBSD-CURRENT? I spend most of my time in FreeBSD these days, but I
sure do miss my sound. :-(
