Is this the audio on the Cyrix MediaGX (later National Semiconductor
Geode GXm)? I have access to hardware with that CPUs that I can test
with if someone wants to write an ALSA driver. Er... though I'm not sure
what VSA version the BIOS has.

I seem to recall that the Soundblaster 16 emulation provided by the VSA
code worked fine so perhaps this can be dropped entirely. I've not
touched a MediaGX based board in many years so I may be remembering
incorrectly. The Soundblaster 16 emulation does work fine on AMD Geode
GX1 boards.
