Sweex 5.1 soundcard-troiubles

Hi all,
I asked this question on freebsd-multimedia at first, but I think that was
the wrong list to ask. So I'm asking it here again, if you don't mind. As
a side note: I´m not subscribed to the list, so you might want to CC me.
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.
My guess is that I should set the IRQ and I/O settings right, but how do I
get the right values for that? I tried installing the card on an obsolete
Windows-installation, but got no luck there either (which has to do with
the fact that the installation isn't aware of sound anymore due to
something NVidia did. Or whatever). I know the card should more or less
work though (new hardware found on Windows), but I still do not know which
IRQ / I/O to use. And how do I define that? Is that hint.snd or hint.pcm
these days?
For the record: here are some outputs which might be of help:
