I haven't gotten integrated sound working on my
motherboard. I should have AD1888 AC97. I almost got it working
using the snd_via8233 driver. Here's some more info:

pcm0: <VIA VT8237> port 0xe400-0xe4ff irq 22 at device 17.5 on pci0
pcm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
pcm0: <Unknown AC97 Codec (id = 0x41445368)>

pcm0 at pci0:17:5: class=0x040100 card=0x810d1043 chip=0x30591106 rev=0x60 
hdr=0x00
     vendor   = 'VIA Technologies Inc'
     device   = 'VT8233/33A/8235/8237 AC97 Enhanced Audio Controller'
     class    = multimedia
     subclass = audio

Mixer vol      is currently set to 100:10
Mixer pcm      is currently set to  46:46


It just plays everything fine, xmms doesn't give any errors about
missing device etc. The audio analyser shows jumping bars and so on.
I just can't hear the sound. I tried all sockets, but it works fine on 
MS Windows. So it's a driver problem.

And here's what i've done:
Kldload snd_dirver (loaded all sound modules)
Added the line "{ 0x41445368, 0x00, 0, "AD1888",        0 }," to ac97.c 
(dmesg changes)
I tried FreeSBIE 1.1, it had the same problems too.

So i guess this can be solved with a simple patch. Could anyone do that?
Or even help me? I'll provide any info needed asap.
