Can someone recommend a good, *fully supported* PCI sound card for use with
NetBSD/i386? I've got an onboard auvia, but it only supports input/output -
it sounds great, but the codec is unknown by NetBSD, so no mixer, etc. Thus
things like mplayer, arts, all barf.

The onboard is:
auvia0 at pci0 dev 17 function 5: VIA Technologies VT8235 AC'97 Audio (rev
0x60)
auvia0: interrupting at irq 5
auvia0: ac97: C-Media unknown (0x434d4983) codec; no 3D stereo
auvia0: ac97: ext id bc2<AC97_23,AMAP,LDAC,SDAC,CDAC,DRA>
audio0 at auvia0: full duplex, independent

I've got a PCI SB Live!:
emuxki0 at pci0 dev 13 function 0: vendor 0x1102 product 0x0002 (audio
multimedia, revision 0x07)
emuxki0: ac97: SigmaTel STAC9708 codec; 18 bit DAC, 18 bit ADC, SigmaTel 3D
emuxki0: ac97: ext id 80<SDAC>
audio0 at emuxki0: full duplex, mmap, independent

But it performs horribly, although arts/mplayer will use it just fine. It
seems to change it's volume randomly. This happened in another machine as
well (the one the SB Live! came from).

In case it matters, the motherboard is an ASRock K7V88-RAID, KT880
northbridge, VT8237 southbridge.
