There's a posting I ran across at DejaNews including a file 'fixcmi.c' that
enables the CD Audio on this card if you've got the ad1848 driver loaded
properly. Note that the address is _hard_coded_ into the program, so be sure
to have it set right when you compile it.

I've been using it here on my Asus P5A-B motherboard with on-board CMI8330
sound and it works great. Lets me finally have my CD-Audio back.

Now if only I could get my Toshiba 6502 CD-Rom to work properly under IDE/SCSI
emulation without hanging my box after resetting the IDE bus.....
