Sound card problem

[Sébastien Morand]

Hi,

I don't really ge an anwser to my own question, but I get a solution
to have my sound card working: use OSS and it's automatically
detected. My steps:
- Remove envy24ht from loader.conf
- Install oss (src required)
- Enable oss un rc.conf at boot time

dsp* devices are created, my sound card is dsp or dsp0. It's working
fine and I can manage the sound.
