I have one "simple" problem with FreeBSD 2.1, it doesn't seem to want to
play Audio CD-ROM's. Data CD's mount fine, and it seems to detect my
Soundcard fine. Here are the portions from dmesg that deal with the
sound card and the cd-rom. 

sb0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa
sb0: <SoundBlaster Pro 3.2>
opl0 at 0x388 on isa
opl0: <Yamaha OPL-3 FM>

wdc1: unit 1 (atapi): <FX001DE/0G 6>, removable, intr, iordis
wcd0: 689Kb/sec, 128Kb cache, audio play, 255 volume levels, ejectable
tray
wcd0: 120mm data disc loaded, unlocked

And the SBPro is on 220,5,1 as stated above. The CD-ROM is slave to the
secondary IDE device. /dev/cdrom is a sym-link to /dev/wcd0c, if that
makes any difference. I'm not sure if I'm missing any necessary devices
or not. Here is a list of devices that I think are relevent..

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel         4 Jun 20 23:42 /dev/dsp -> dsp0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   30,   3 May 31 19:23 /dev/dsp0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   30,  19 May 27 01:33 /dev/dsp1
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel         5 Jun 20 23:42 /dev/dspW -> dspW0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   30,   5 May 31 19:23 /dev/dspW0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   30,  21 May 27 01:33 /dev/dspW1

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  10 Jun 20 23:42 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/wcd0c
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   30,   6 May 31 19:23 /dev/sndstat

And here's "uname -mrs" in case anyone's curious.

FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE i386

I've only been running FreeBSD for a couple of months, but previous to
that I ran Linux for over a year, so I'm not a total moron.. :) Linux
didn't like the fact that my two pairs of simms weren't identical, so I
switched and like what I see so far, excluding the audio problem (which
isn't major, but it is an annoyance). Thanks for any help..
