Uhhhh.  What application are they using over on Linux to do this? 
Chances are that you can simply take the source over and compile it with
few changes since we use the same audio driver spec.  If it's a Linux
a.out binary, you may even be able to simply run it on your system
without compiling anything (if it's an ELF binary, you'll have to update
to FreeBSD 2.2 first).
