that's a fly-by night chipset.  the mfg doesn't support their own chip 
after it's release in a proprietary product.  in a year they will change 
the design to cause failure of all previous software attempts to support 
it - and might do so simply to prevent outside development.  in any case 
it's a one-release wonder, and not many suppliers carry it and they'll 
not continue to make it once they've "run through their printing".

it's a good thing bsd is slow to invite hardware support, in some ways

POINT: they could have release source code drivers (they likely dont 
even have them themselves, probably got it all from some intel developer 
board and didn't bother).  they could have even release some source for 
leveraging multimedia (such as dvd decoder, if the chipset even has one)

my advice is do not waste your time with fly-by-night multimedia support 
your $$ being paid to, and if you are, then offer others $$ for getting 
consulting on the job.

that's just advice though - your free to disagree wholey :)
