SoundBlaster Live, FreeBSD 4.9 #1

I have recently made a FreeBSD 4.8 (now up to 4.9 #1 via CVSup) and can't get 
the sound to work.  Naturally, I have a SoundBlaster Live card.  My FreeBSD 
5.1 installation has no problems with this card.

The manual says I need a patch, though I've searched around on the internet 
and others dispute this.  I've tried enabling pcm in the kernel, and I've 
tried using 'kldload snd'  Both of these cause hard lockups.

What is the solution to getting sound on this version of FreeBSD?

Thanks,

Erick
