NetBSD-current has a soundblaster driver.  It seems to work rather 
well.

Other people have played with the snd_drv stuff (including myself)
and found it to work.  My own experience with it was "messy", "buggy", 
and "kludgey".  The advantage that the snd_drv stuff has is that it
supports more cards than the one in NetBSD-current.
