I had hoped to install 7.2-RELEASE a few days ago, but will probably not
get to it now until this weekend. In the meantime, I'm still running 6.3.
In 6.x, if snd_emu10k1_load="YES" is present in /boot/loader.conf, the kernel
fails during driver initialization. snd_emu10kx does not exist in 6.x. Is
there some undocumented support for this card in 7.2?

Thank you *very* much! I just downloaded the FreeBSD .tbz file and the
installation guide. I'll probably still give the native drivers a trial first,
but if they don't work, then I'll try this one. I had no idea that the Open
Sound project existed, so thanks again.
