After digging into the sources, and actually trying, I've made some
progress.  It's not as hard as I thought, well ...

emu0 at pci0 dev 9 function 0 "Creative Labs SoundBlaster Audigy" rev 0x03: irq 10
ac97: codec id 0x83847609 (SigmaTel STAC9721/23)
ac97: codec features 18 bit DAC, 18 bit ADC, SigmaTel 3D
audio0 at emu0
"Creative Labs SoundBlaster Audigy Digital Input" rev 0x03 at pci0 dev 9 function 1$

mixerctl and audioctl output looks OK, and I can control the volume
with mixerctl when playing CDs, but no sound from mpg123 :(

Out of curiousity, does this AC97 codec appear on any other soundcard
that works on OpenBSD?
