The SBlive is fine with FreeBSD: I also had troubles when I was 
running KDE (unloading/reloading the pcm driver would lock up and 
reboot my system).

Try a different window manager or just try running a command line 
audio program before loading KDE/Xwindows and see how you get on. 
I found that artsd didn't always play well with others . . . .
