The AudioPCI support isn't in 1.3.3. I'm not sure if something
was misdocumented or misread; where did you see the reference to
AudioPCI support?

The driver for the AudioPCI is called 'eap'. The lines you would want
(stolen from a -current config file) are:
eap* at pci? dev ? function ? # Ensoniq AudioPCI
audio* at eap?
However, even if you get those lines and steal the eap.c file
and the little bit of config glue it needs, the driver isn't going to
work in a 1.3.3 system; the internal audio layers have changed
somewhat. So if you want to use this, you can either port the driver
back to 1.3 (which could then be included in the next patch release,
1.3.4, and the world would be grateful), or run a -current kernel.
