Don't know the current state of the default drivers, but you may wish to 
consider this:

However, be aware this is a loadable module and may limit you to running a
'RELEASE' version of FreeBSD and you may need to build some apps by hand to 
fully utilise it, oh and it costs money too :-)

I bought this years ago to support audio on an AST laptop that was at the 
time unsupported by FreeBSD, havn't had cause to use it recently.
