A simulated SoundBlaster wouldn't help much with XMMS ;-)
I'm talking *real hardware* here: my legacy ISA SB16 doesn't show up
with DFly whereas FreeBSD can use it. That's the point.

To get a bit further: would a gentle hacker explain how is devices
discovery and initialization done, even quickly in a few words, pse ?
I'm really lost with PNP or not, buses architecture and all.
Oh, pse: no need to tell me "go get 4.4BSD D&I...", it didn't help me
much. 

Francis.
