Features like automatic vchannels are missing.

The Audigy SE (24bit/96khz) isn't among the supported cards. I bought this card some time ago because it was dirt cheap, only to discover that there was no native freebsd driver for it. The chip is different from the standard Audigy. I have to say, the windows drivers sucked too. It is now collecting dust in my hardware bin :)
