It doesn't work, unless you install the oss driver from 
http://www.4front-tech.com


Note that in my opinion the native FreeBSD drivers are a lot
better.

WHAT DRIVERS? THE ONES THAT DON'T EXIST FOR THE CARD?

IN MY OPINION THE SB AUDIGY IS A VERY COMMON CARD THAT
SHOULD HAVE
BEEN SUPPORTED LONG AGO. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE OSS DRIVERS
ARE VERY GOOD.

The OSS drivers do not integrate as well as the native
drivers with most 
multimedia applications. Features like automatic vchannels
are missing. Also, 
I found the mmap'ed audio support to be buggy, but this may
have changed.

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
