About which version of the ESS Solo-1 are we talking anyway?
ESS Solo (1394) ? There seem to be multiple chips called "Solo-1"
out there. Yesterday, I installed OpenBSD on a machine with an
Asus P2B-N board. This board claims to have an "ESS Solo-1 3D".
OpenBSD recognizes this chip as an ES1946 chip:
eso0 at pci0 dev 9 function 0 "ESS SOLO-1 AudioDrive" rev 0x01: ES1946 irq 10
audio0 at eso0
opl0 at eso0: model OPL3
midi0 at opl0: <ESO Yamaha OPL3>
The chip seems to work fine with the eso driver (only tried playing an MP3
though). Maybe one could take the know-how of the eso driver to implement
this under FreeBSD.
