* snd_ymfpci - for YMF7xx chips.  Like most of the others, has been
  discontinued and must be bought used.  Used on several cards, e.g.,
  Hoontech SoundTrack Digital XG (most of those cards have "XG" in
  their name).

If you want a supported wavetable synthesizer, get a SB Live! or Audigy.
If you want to do bit-exact recording from the SPDIF input, get a
YMF754B-based card.  Otherwise, the chip doesn't matter.

Does _not_ support hardware mixing.

The Windows driver, like the drivers of most other cards, claims to
support multiple streams and does software mixing in the driver itself
instead of letting Windows do the mixing.  Since Windows assumes that no
driver would do such a silly thing, the driver shows up as "supports
hardware mixing".
