I think you may have been bitten by creative labeling here. The page
you cite talks about the "Aureon Fun," which is indeed based on the CMI
chipset. However, you say you bought the "Aureon Sky," which is based
on the VIA Envy24 chipset -- which supports 24-bit, 192KHz audio, and is
not currently supported by NetBSD.
