[coreboot] What is the KGPE-D16 PCI audio device for?

[BogDan Vatra]

Thanks a lot!

I'll check the available PCI(-e) sound cards out there. I found
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Creative-Sound-Blaster-X-Fi-SB0790-PCI-E-7-1-Surround-Audio-Sound-Card-/252789624041
which seems almost the same price as the "new" ones.

BogDan.
