Hmm, I have pinged ariff@ on whether he was working on a driver for this
chipset (haven't heard a reply tho), as I heard some people claiming he
might...

Well, I intend to take a look, as I have hardware - I've got FreeBSD
running on a Compaq Evo T30 recently, which has such a sound IC. Too bad
the USB doesn't quite work well (chipset bugs; only Linux has a patch
for them...)

I can also setup serial console access to it if desired, but mind that
it only has 32MB memory so you can't build anything on it... let me know
if this is acceptable, the machine runs 8-CURRENT.

Cheers,
