<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">snd_via8233</code> bridge driver allows the
    generic audio driver, <a class="Xr">sound(4)</a>, to attach to the VIA
    VT8233 audio devices. These audio chipsets are integrated in the southbridge

<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">snd_via8233</code> driver does not support
    S/PDIF. There is partial support in the code, so implementing it should be
    fairly easy if the right hardware is available.</p>
