IIRC, someone reported that the Audiophile 2496 works on OpenBSD.

By "works" i mean that it can record and play 24bit samples using

10/12 channels, as it should. Unfortunaltely few audio ports

support such encodings.
Recently jakemsr@ ported jack, afaik it's the only app that can use

natively envy(4) devices. He also modified various audio apps to

use jack, so such cards become more and more usable with usual

apps. See:
