That would be a good thing to do.

That information could be useful for the person who maintains
the cmi sound card driver. Maybe it's possible to take those
IDs (card=0x82751043 chip=0x878813f6) and temporarily "patch"
them into the cmi driver, to try if it then will recognize
the device and handle it (maybe with limited functionality)?

I know a similar approach has been possible to "magically
activate" some incompatible USB hardware...
