I'm submitting the following self-review case on my own behalf. Its another
audio driver. If anyone feels this warrants promotion to a fast track, then
please speak up.

4. Technical Description
Title: audiocmihd audio driver
Requested Binding: Minor
This project proposes to deliver a device driver for the
c-Media 8788 family of audio devices. These parts are found newer high-end
discrete audio boards, such as the Asus Xonar cards.
The driver would be called "audiocmihd", and would be delivered in a package
SUNWaudiocmihd. It would use the Consolidation Private Boomer (PSARC 2008/318)
interfaces.
The package name would "Committed", and the driver would be "Uncommitted",
as would any specific features delivered by the driver.
We are not planning on providing FMA support for this driver (we don't
believe it is strategic, and no other audio drivers have FMA support
currently).
In initial delivery, we are planning on supporting basic stereo playback
and record using the analog ports on the device. However, architecturally,
we'd like to allow for the chance to broaden this support for surround sound
or SPDIF if time permits. (The device can support 7.1 and digital SPDIF
output.)
