It's not a X-Fi sound card at all.  Its chip is CA0106-WBTLF (from
Wikipedia).  But it's the only sound card available on ExpressCard,
so it's kinda a great choice for laptop users.

Is that possible to add its support into FreeBSD OSS?

On my FreeBSD 8.4 machine, it's recognized as

OSSv4 (including the latest versions in hg) does not work either,
