Sweex 5.1 soundcard problem

Hi all,
First of all, please CC me, since I'm not subscribed. Thanks :)
I just bought a Sweex 5.1 soundcard since my onboard-sound was a horrible
disaster (5.1 channels, but only two available, and the volume could not be
set except for on and off). The new card was cheap, so that can cause the
problem I have now :)
The card has an C-Media chip on it (C3DX, CMI8738) but is not detected by
snd_cmi. Apparently, from what I read round and about, the CMI8738 should
work like a charm on FreeBSD with snd_cmi loaded (which is partly why I
bought it in the first place... apart from the money).
Does anyone has any idea as to what to do to trace the problem? All I know is
pciconf, which doesn't do me any good... It doesn't even show the darn thing
(although it does show the onboard soundcard which is not recognized by the
kernel, since I do not load the module any longer).
kldstat shows me that snd_cmi is loaded, but I do not think that the problem
is with the software at all. pciconf should always show the device, even if
it cannot be detected by the kernel, right? Or should I somewhere put all the
IRQ's in order? And how?
The more I think about it, the more I fear the card itself is broken. Or is
this a known problem with how Sweex solders the CMI8738 on their triplex?
(Oh, btw, the card came with the sources for a Linux-driver from CMedia for
the CMI8738. I'm not a C-programmer (yet) but could that be of any help?)
Several outputs follow below... (hey, that's weird... the USB 2.0 controller
seems to be undetected :) well, well... I DO learn from this! What's that,
ehci?)
regards,
