>Description:
in a galaxy far far away a long long time ago (fbsd 4.6ish) sound support
for the Maestro 2E on the toshiba 2595xdvd worked. Since then either the
card has not worked or in this case since 5.x and now 6.x the card "works"
but there are no devices in the mixer so you have no volume.

Mixer rec      is currently set to   0:0
Recording source: mic

this might not be a problem if say, for example, you dont listen to mp3's,
watch pirated dvd, play pron divx, shoot off a quick game of Enemy Territory
or watch some nifty flash web sites.

This same problem has been reported on other PR's for other laptop brands
and seems to pretty consistant.


>How-To-Repeat:
own a laptop with a maestro sound card and install fbsd

 Many of these onboard codecs do not have a mixer device. Volume
 control was done in software, and an emulated 'mixer' pseudo-device
 was created. In the updating an mpsafing of code for version 5, this
 feature was lost.
 Ariff Abdullah <skywizard-at-MyBSD.org.my> has recently reimplemented
 this feature, and patches are available at
 http://staff.mybsd.org.my/skywizard/FreeBSD/sound/
 
 I have not tried any of them, so cannot say whether they will work
 with your hardware, or how to use them.
