Greetings.  I just configured snd0 and sb0 into a kernel (as per LINT):

controller      snd0
device sb0      at isa? port 0x220 irq 7 conflicts drq 1 vector sbintr

then made and installed the new kernel, rebooted, and did MAKEDEV snd0.

The problem is when I "cat cow.au > /dev/audio" I only get about 1 second
of audio before it hangs.  (I also tried "irq 5" without "conflicts" and
several differend *.au files.)

This is with a SoundBlaster Pro on a Gateway 2000 DX4-66 with VLB, ATI GUP,
SMC Elite Ultra, 32MB memory, FreeBSD 2.1.0-SNAP.  I also have options
SYSVSHM,SYSVSEM,SYSVMSG,"DUMMY_NOPS" (if that matters).

Any suggestions?
