	Sounds logical, having the chip documentation would be
helpful. Did anyone check if any i386 sound cards use that Crystal chip
and we might already have a working driver?

	Well, more like three people have reported back to the list that
it has worked / not-worked. (to my recolection, not counting tech-kern,
ofwppc or current-users)

	I could be completely wrong.

	Sort of, all the Beige G3's use AWACS Screamer, Pre-G3's use just
regular AWACS. I don't know where exactly the Burgundy chip was
introduced, but I seem to recall it being one of the PowerBooks.
