 I hacked up a version of xmixer to work under NetBSD with my VIBRA16 
(Soundsblaster-16). Some of the stuff is still broken in it, but the 
volume sliders do actually work while I am catting an .au to /dev/audio.
 Also the mic works as well, although there's scarce documentation, so I 
don't know how to get it to record. I also haven't been able to test the 
CD-ROM player portion of the program due to the fact that my Matsushita 
CD drive is not supported in NetBSD. Can someone PLEASE incorporate 
FreeBSD's matcd driver? I gave it a shot but I am not too clued in at 
porting device drivers.

I also recently applied diffs someone on this list sent me ages ago to 
Tracker and it works, albeit with a pop or crackle here and there while 
playing .mod files...

If you are interested I can mail you the diffs or something...
