Interesting. I've been using a CMI-based sound card with
FreeBSD 4, 5 and 7 already. See "man snd_cmi":

HARDWARE
     The snd_cmi driver supports the following sound cards:

     =B7   CMedia CMI8338A
     =B7   CMedia CMI8338B
     =B7   CMedia CMI8738
     =B7   CMedia CMI8738B

It lists older CMI8788 as supported devices. Doesn't it
provide sufficient compatibility?
