This isn't a known issue. It looks like you are the first person to
exercise the sb16 driver in FreeBSD-5.x in quite some time. Allowing
recursive locks makes it much more difficult to get the locking correct
since you lose the ability to use assertions about the lock state at
function entry and exit.
Typically the proper fix in this case would be to remove the
sb_lock() call from sb_reset_dsp() and always let the caller do the
locking. The patch below should do the trick, though I believe the
added locking and unlocking (the second section of the patch) could be
omitted in sb16_attach() since no other thread can access the device
while the attach is in progress.
