 Hi, Jesse again.  I got sound working the next day (Jul 4, 2002) by very =
 cheaply hacking in the Linux patch code into the AC97 codec.  Many very =
 gracious people have sent me their own versions of the hack, for which I =
 am thankful.  However, I do believe that a better solution need be =
 presented, as opposed to simply a cheap hack.  I like the way the =
 FreeBSD sound subsystem is arranged. I'm generally a neophyte at =
 kernel-level programming, but I noticed that hardware-dependent code and =
 hardware-independent code seemed to be seperate.  You guys do very nice =
 work.
