Thank you :)

I've got some thoughts, before I continue.

What version of FreeBSD does include the snd_hdspe driver? Do I have to
download and burn a version > 9.0?

Since the issue to get the needed slice/partition with the needed file
system is solved by installing PC-BSD 8.2 instead of FreeBSD 9.0, I
could backup the current install and then delete all files (but keep the
slice and fs) and try to install FreeBSD again. If it shouldn't work, I
still could restore PC-BSD from the backup.

Since I want to test audio and MIDI, I wonder if 64 bit is the right
choice. Is there something I should know about advantages and drawbacks
of 32 bit and 64 bit architecture for audio?

When I backuped BSD yesterday, I noticed that PC-BSD 8.2 couldn't mount
all my Linux partitions. I'm not sure, but I suspect I could mount ext3,
but not ext4, at least the backup is on an ext3 partition.
Is there something, perhaps a kernel version, I should prefer to use
FreeBSD on my Linux machine?

For audio on FreeBSD is there something to know about real-time, before
I install another BSD?

First I'll subscribe and ask on
http://lists.pcbsd.org/mailman/listinfo/support, if I can fix issues for
the current install, but perhaps it's wiser to make a new install.

Again the question regarding to a backup I made yesterday.

My fstab:
/dev/label/rootfs0      /                       ufs             rw,noatime      1       1
/dev/label/swap0        none                    swap            sw              0       0
/dev/label/var0         /var                    ufs             rw,noatime      1       1
/dev/label/usr0         /usr                    ufs             rw,noatime      1       1
procfs                  /proc                   procfs          rw              0       0
linprocfs               /compat/linux/proc      linprocfs       rw              0       0

That's how I backuped:
# dump -0Launf - /dev/label/rootfs0 | bzip2 > /media/unused8/rootfs0-2012-12-14.dump
# dump -0Launf - /dev/label/var0 | bzip2 > /media/unused8/var0-2012-12-14.dump
# dump -0Launf - /dev/label/usr0 | bzip2 > /media/unused8/usr0-2012-12-14.dump

IIUC I can backup BSD, while running the BSD I backup and the commands
above did backup everything. I could delete all files and restore it
from this backup. Is this correct?
