Isn't the point of  i810 host audio to reduce the amount of hardware 
used for the audio and offload sample rate conversion and mixing to the 
software (i.e. driver or application) and only play 48kHz 16bit stereo 
(which is the input for AC97 codecs)?  Sounds like better support in the 
driver or sound software is needed.
