On the one hand, this is annoying, because it means that the board
has no sound chip built into it as part of the multi-I/O chip,
which shoots me in the foot.  8-(.  On the other hand, it's an
Intel bridge chip, which might give creedence to the idea that
it's limited to 2 DMA channel negotiations, and barfs if you
try to stick another PCI card in it that does DMA, which keeps
my other foot safe.  8-).
