Thanks dude !!!
A visit to the link you gave put me on the path to enlightenment.
I modified /boot/loader.conf for the following:
snd_sbc_load="YES"
snd_pcm_load="YES"
Strangely, the sb16 module was not used - hmmmmm ?!??!?
I needed to specify the non-plug-and-pray parameters and found
the /boot/device.hints file and added the following:
hint.sbc.0.at="isa"
hint.sbc.0.port="0x220"
hint.sbc.0.irq="5"
hint.sbc.0.drq="1"
hint.sbc.0.flags="0x15"
I rebooted (just to be sure it was going to work from a cold start)
and the devfs did the rest.
/dev/dsp appeared and KDE3 now has sound.
Thanks for pointing out the online documentation,
Bob
