Intel SoundMax Sound Card Support

[Sam Fourman Jr.]

ok that advice worked now i get a new error in dmesg, it is the same
as this post

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2005-November/003112.html

that is what i get, (Primary Codec not ready) there is source code in
that post from 2005 out of current? I am using 6.2RC1 can i just diff
and compile? should this fix not be in 6.2 release?

newbie a little confused
