I have connected the little digital cable that you have mentioned above 
and....!viola! (don't know what language is this, but I see some people 
use this in the ML to express their happiness, I am )...
Through trial-and-error I can finally listen to music in my own FreeBSD

I have to admit, after reading your response...

Thank you very much...to you all of those who helped...
