ESI Julia XTe places Envy24HT-S on PCIe via TENOR TE7009 PCI-to-PCIe bridge, which is transparent bridge. so, it should work right away, because PCIe-to-PCI conversion is entirely transparent from audio driver point of view - it will be recognized by the driver as ESI Julia on PCI, i.e. exactly like the old card. however, one potential problem (but it's very unlikely) is issues with PCIe-to-PCI chip in use in OpenBSD - i have such in the past, even though that was on different favor of *BSD, as well it was many years ago and it could be already fixed, but here is the old case for reference:
