BUGS

       The Forte Media FM801 chipset is a sort of PCI bridge, not an actual sound controller, making it possible
       to  have  soundless  support.  One problem is that both chipsets, with and without sound support, use the
       same PCI ID.  This makes it impossible to determine which one is installed.
