No completely it seems. I got myself a SB128. It might be interesting to
know that a chip labeled "CT2518" is in fact a ES1371:

freebie#cat sndstat 
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Jun 23 2000 19:49:06
Installed devices:
pcm0: <AudioPCI ES1371> at io 0xe000 irq 11 (1p/1r channels duplex)

and bootmessage:

pcm0: <AudioPCI ES1371> port 0xe000-0xe03f irq 11 at device 13.0 on pci0

I can play CDs, xmixer can controle the volume etc without problems. But as
far as playing sound goes, using either Fxtv or mpeg2player: no sound
whatsoever.

/dev looks ok to my untrained eye:

freebie#ls -l audio* mixer* snd* sequencer* dsp* 
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel         6 Jun 24 15:44 audio -> audio0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   30,   4 Jun 24 16:22 audio0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel         4 Jun 24 15:44 dsp -> dsp0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   30,   3 Jun 24 16:08 dsp0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel         5 Jun 24 15:44 dspW -> dspW0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   30,   5 Jun 24 15:44 dspW0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel         6 Jun 24 15:44 mixer -> mixer0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   30,   0 Jun 24 15:44 mixer0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel        10 Jun 24 15:44 sequencer -> sequencer0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   30,   1 Jun 24 15:44 sequencer0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   30,   6 Jun 24 15:44 sndstat

I'll try to figure out what is wrong, but in the meantime suggestions are
welcome.
