Basically copy the files /usr/src/sys/dev/sound/pci/via82c686.[ch] from a
-current box to your -stable box (you can get them from cvsweb) and then edit
/usr/src/sys/config/files and after the line which mentions 't4dwave.c' add
this ->
dev/sound/pci/via82c686.c       optional pcm pci

You will get an error when you compile saying that some functions are missing
(pcm_unregister and ac97_destroy I think) - go through via82c686.c and remove
the ref's to it :)

It doesn't register a mixer, and if you try and record and playback at the same
time your machine will page fault, but it does work :)
