* snd_ymfpci - for YMF7xx chips.  Like most of the others, has been  discontinued and must be bought used.  Used on several cards, e.g.,  Hoontech SoundTrack Digital XG (most of those cards have "XG" in  their name).
If you want a supported wavetable synthesizer, get a SB Live! or Audigy.If you want to do bit-exact recording from the SPDIF input, get aYMF754B-based card.  Otherwise, the chip doesn't matter.

Does _not_ support hardware mixing.

The Windows driver, like the drivers of most other cards, claims tosupport multiple streams and does software mixing in the driver itselfinstead of letting Windows do the mixing.  Since Windows assumes that nodriver would do such a silly thing, the driver shows up as "supportshardware mixing".
