Hi.
I have am using a Sound Blaster 32 PnP in FreeBSD ver. 2.2.1and it doesn't 
play midis.  I can play mods and stuff (s3mod), but midis are noiseless.  
The program (playmidi) will start, and even display the graphic 'notes' for the song, 
but no sound comes out.
I believe there is a problem with the PnP (yuk!) initialation.  The 
non-PnP OS initialation program is a DOS binary, so I have no way to 
initialize the card in FreeBSD.
Has anyone ever dealt with this kind of thing before?  I'd appreciate any 
information anyone can give me.
Thanks!
