About which version of the ESS Solo-1 are we talking anyway? ESS Solo (1394) ? There seem to be multiple chips called "Solo-1" out there. Yesterday, I installed OpenBSD on a machine with an Asus P2B-N board. This board claims to have an "ESS Solo-1 3D". OpenBSD recognizes this chip as an ES1946 chip: eso0 at pci0 dev 9 function 0 "ESS SOLO-1 AudioDrive" rev 0x01: ES1946 irq 10 audio0 at eso0 opl0 at eso0: model OPL3 midi0 at opl0: <ESO Yamaha OPL3> The chip seems to work fine with the eso driver (only tried playing an MP3 though). Maybe one could take the know-how of the eso driver to implement this under FreeBSD.
