I don't know about that, but from what the driver says, the fixed rate
is 48kHz. You should be able to get 16bit sound out of it...

Right, with the driver that's in NetBSD 1.5.x, you're not going to get
any sound out of that chip. You could either switch to a -curreent
kernel, or if you're handy with diff/patch, go to
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/syssrc/sys/dev/pci/auvia.c and apply
the patches that look appropriate. Looks like the main thing you'd want
is the diff between revisions 1.6 and 1.7.
