This is normal. FreeBSD has supported interrupt sharing since mid-V4
days. 

I have just started to update my 600E to CURRENT to see if I can get the
same sort of behavior you are seeing and if I can fix it. The 600E is a
bit slow, do it will be a while before I have a bootable CURRENT kernel,
but I'll send out a note with what I see when I get there.

I can say that the driver is failing to attach the audio chipset
properly and I would not expect sound to work until it does.
