     Hi again..
     Just one more question: The FreeBSD (5.1) driver to sis 7018 audio
    is the t4dwave.c code?
     I'm asking this because the Linux trident.c code is to sis 7018 audio
    driver and t4dwave too. i do not find another code in FreeBSD.
     The linux code is +4000 lines, and the FreeBSD have -1000. :))
     I guess the Freebsd is more sample to port... :))

    Thanks again.
