Has Yamaha released specs for the chipset? I was looking on their ftp site a few days ago, and the latest PDF file there is YMF721.PDF (which both xpdf and the last couple of versions of Acrobat won't read!). If it's compatible with the OPL3-SAx, which I believe is what the aforementioned YMF721 is, then the existing opl3sa2 driver might work. I have a SAx card, and it works fine when treated as a SA3, so there's a chance Yamaha have continued maintaining backwards compatibility.
Speaking of the opl3sa2 driver, I was playing with the microphone volume mixer stuff tonight. I think I'll be done with implementing all of the useful mixer stuff with a few more hours work, so a patch should be forthcoming. It's too bad that my old job kept from working on this more earlier in the year; it actually hasn't been as much work as I thought it would be, due to prodigous cutting-and-pasting from pss.c.
