CS5536 Audio Drivers (PCM) question.

[Konstantin Dimitrov]

at least for Geode Cx5530 there is a driver, that is not part of the
main FreeBSD installation:

http://wiki.freebsd.org/soundsystem#head-b06abec1a02f1bcc7b43a9e924b121db61355a7c

but the link: http://63.249.85.132/gx_audio/index.html is dead.

i have a mirror here:
