Whoever has been working on the WSS/SB/CS42* stuff:  Thanks.

Starting with today's sup, NetBSD is once again able to configure
and attach the CS4232 sound chip.  It even plays correctly at full
speed (when last it was working, around December, I had to downsample).

I have some questions.

In the dmesg output included below, it reports
    wss0: CS4232 WSS/SB: broken
Why does it do that and is there something I can do to make it better?

You can also see in the dmesg output the message:
    isapnp0: card 1 violates PnP spec; byte 4
I believe byte 4 is the start of the serial number, which might be
changeable via software.  Is this something I should learn to live with,
or is this fixable?

The CS4232 is a WSS chip, but it will also emulate a SB.  Is it better
to configure NetBSD to configure the chip as WSS or as SB?  For example,
the CS4232 can also emulate a MPU401 but NetBSD seems to have configuration
examples to attach an MPU401 only to SB, and not to WSS.

Thanks for any reply...
