Of course. But that only gives a list of chipsets and doesn't actually
tell you what cards use them which is the information I am looking for.
I understand that idiotic vendors have a habit of randomly changing
their chipsets so I don't expect this kind of information to be listed
there.

Only 1 other person has replied since I posted my request but luckily I
found:

http://www.arch.cam.ac.uk/~dir21/OpenBSD/sound.html

I've since bought that card and although it works the sound quality is
pretty poor, there is a lot of hissing which I don't get in Linux. On
top of that mplayer is still unusably slow for playing DVDs (Athlon XP
2000+), this was also the case when I installed OpenBSD 3.8 on an AMD64
3200 last year. I have to note that this was a completely different
system to the one I'm using now and yet it had the exact same problem,
does nobody watch DVDs using OpenBSD or something?

I will try again to find a solution to these problems on the mailing list
but I don't hold up much hope given my experiences and will probably
switch back.

Thanks anyway.
