Any generic SBLive will do you well, and they're cheap. I've gotten
several locally for $5/each, and all of my computers have one.
They're excellent cards, and while I don't know what the deal is with
the OEM version you have, it's not worth wasting much time on.

As an added bonus, I don't know about the BSD driver, but the Linux
drivers can play multiple streams at once on the card without a
software mixer like esd. This doesn't sound like a big deal, but it
is -- you can be playing music, and it can play a new mail sound at
the same time. Or you can fire off six different xmms programs, and
play six different songs at once. It's very nice, and it's why I
don't deal with anything but SBlives anymore.
