The card is an ISA Creative Labs AWE64.

This card works with 3.1-RELEASE through 3.2-STABLE, and works fine
under 4.0-CURRENT too.

I've only ever used the VOXWARE drivers.

The default volume/gain settings are *waaay* too high by default. It
peaks the input signal on my amplifier and sounds awful. To fix it, I
apply the following diff in /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/sound (4.0-CURRENT):

Yep, that's fine by me. Please note, though, that the PNP configuration
in section (3) was information gained through the lists. I can't
