Hi,
I've tried to replace my Soundblaster Vibra 16 with a Soundblaster 64V.
The 64V uses an ES1373 chip (1373-0001-02). A sticker on the layout side
of the cards tells me that the model number may be ES1371. I've been unable
to locate a CT number on this card.

I'm using 3.4-stable, last cvsup was on 12/20/1999. I've tried to use my
"old" kernel (of SB16 fame) with both pnp0 and pcm0[0] as well as a new
kernel with just pcm0. In both cases, the card is detected by the kernel:

es1: <AudioPCI ES1371> rev 0x06 int a irq 14 on pci0.9.0
pcm1: using I/O space register mapping at 0xe000
es1371: codec vendor TRA revision 35
es1371: codec features Bass & Treble
es1371: stereo enhancement: no 3D stereo enhancement

(I've tried to boot in verbose mode but I've been unable to find any
es/pcm related information in /var/run/dmesg.boot afterwards)

The motherboard bios gives me a listing of the pci devices before it
tries to boot the OS. This lists includes a "multimedia device" with
device number 9 and irq 14. In other words, the kernels detects the
card correctly.

On the other hand, cat /dev/sndstat reports that I have an AudioPCI ES1371
using irq0 and dma0 (duh). And the card doesn't work: mpg123 is stuck on
the first frame. There are no error messages on the console.

My questions
a) Are the 1373-based cards supported by FreeBSD 3.4?
b) I'm sure I made some kind of mistake. Could somebody point my in the
   right direction? If you need additional information, I'll break out
   the screwdrivers again.
