Yeah, the higher resolution is nice.

The sounds works fine for me, detected as:

  pcm0: <VIA VT8235> port 0x1000-0x10ff irq 9 at device 17.5 on pci0

  pcm0@pci0:17:5: class=0x040100 card=0x2032161f chip=0x30591106 rev=0x50 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'VIA Technologies Inc'
    device   = 'VT8233/33A AC97 Enhanced Audio Controller'
    class    = multimedia
    subclass = audio

I assume those sbp errors are due to a lack of fireware hardware
on the bus.

Looks promising.  I will have to try that.
