What version of FreeBSD are you using?

you can use them.
you have to enable linux emulation.
install "linux_base" from the ports
or if you have the FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE disks:

	mount /cdrom
	cd /cdrom/packages/All
	pkg_add linux_base-7.1_2.tbz

and include a line saying:

	linux_enable="YES"

in your /etc/rc.conf file.

Some linux programs are  included in the ports,
v. gr.  netscape 4.8, you can install it  from the ports.

you have to build a new kernel that can handle it.

read  the manual [/usr/share/doc/en/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html]
to do this.

what sound card do you have?

must sound cards require only include

		device pcm

in your kernel configuration to handle them.
