It is a bit sketchy on information, but when I looked it I was kinda
guessing that the gaps could be filled in quite easily by someone who
understood how PCI was supposed to work. I'm probably quite wrong, though.

I have a sound card which is based on the 724 chipset. It has an SP/DIF
output which is why I use it (now and again under Windows), but I'd love
to be able to use it under NetBSD which is what the machine runs most of
the time.

From dmesg:
Yamaha 724 Audio (audio multimedia, revision 0x02) at pci0 dev 11 function
0 not configured

If anyone does manage to knock up a driver (either in native mode or in SB
compatibility mode - TBH native mode looked simpler to me), I'll be happy
to see how well it works.
