Really? I can't remember this. But there's a patchset available at
http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/ which merges all of the changes we
have in -current. If you know how to use "patch", you may want to give
it a try.

Notes:
 - I have a Creative USB device myself and it works just fine (in
   -current).
 - The patchset will not be merged to RELENG_5 or RELENG_6 as is, since
   we have to change the way you can control some features first.

Bye,
Alexander.
