I have an Epox 8k9a2+ motherboard with an ALC650 codec :

auvia0 at pci0 dev 17 function 5: VIA VT8235 AC'97 Audio (rev 0x50)
auvia0: interrupting at irq 11
auvia0: Avance Logic ALC650 codec; 20 bit DAC, 18 bit ADC, Realtek 3D
auvia0: variable rate audio, double rate output, S/PDIF, center DAC,
	surround DAC, LFE DAC
audio0 at auvia0: full duplex, mmap, independent

Works great with -current.  No idea if this is representative of
your audio device though.
