Hm. This is all a bit too uncertain for me to spend 500 Euro. I've had a look at the NS5530A datasheet, and it didn't really make me feel much better. I'll probably buy an external soundcard far that system instead. Advantech offers an ALS12-based card for the PC/104 slot. According to FreeBSD's HARDWARE.TXT, the ALS120 is supported. I've never worked with PC/104 stuff before, but I guess it's not too difficult to put the parts together. :-) (I also considered buying an USB audio DAC, but those don't seem to be supported either.) Anyway, thanks for all your suggestions and support.
