[SOLVED] sound card not recognized by freebsd 8.2 but mentioned in PC-BSD 8.2

[Zhang Weiwu, Beijing]

I am actually amazed nobody nor the handbook mentioned OSS to me, 
because after learned this, it suddenly become obvious this option 
should be tried right after failure of snd_driver. In fact, the sound 
card in-topic is Ali M5455, the first on the list of sound card 
supported by OSS.

http://manuals.opensound.com/devlists/FreeBSD.html

The solution is as simple as 'pkg_add -vr oss'. done. solved.

Consider OSS supported sound card list is rather long, it should be a 
must recommendation after snd_driver.

Again amazed that lspci in Linux showed keyword M5455, but pciconf -lv 
didn't show keyword "M5455". Having the keyword it's only a minute to 
figure out which is the right driver.
