Interesting that adding a driver is sufficient for you. Last time I
had a look at getting pcm(4) and SUNW,CS4231 working on FreeBSD/sparc64
I stumbled on pcm(4) not being endian-clean and not yet being fully
converted to using busdma. At a quick glance that's still the case.
Did you miss to add some changed files in your patch?
