The first breakage was with the introduction of newmidi IIRC. The mixer
worked, but any dsp related functions were broken.
See: sys/dev/sound/isa/es1888.c rev 1.3
In recent kernel even the mixer is dead and the soundcard is left in a
state where all volumes are zeroed, preventing audio CD playing as well.
See: sys/dev/sound/isa/es1888.c rev 1.4
Relevant kernel config options:
options PNPBIOS
controller isa0
controller eisa0
controller pci0
controller pnp0
device pcm0
I have to re-enable sbc0 to see if any changes therein apply to ESS as
well. Should I have sbc0 in the first place?
