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?
