Sound with a V100 Server?

Before I completely re-install Gentoo on this server, does anybody know if a common PCI sound card would work in a Sunfire V100 server? I'm looking for a low-power server to act as a music client to pipe sound into a distribution unit and it's either use this spare server I have so build a Via EPIA server to do it.

Thanks

Don't even bother trying a sblive, it's known they won't work (probably audigy too).

That's a nice link. I feel dumb that I didn't find that one earlier. I think I have an old Ensoniq 1371 card kicking around here which seems like it may work based on the drivers. I may actually resurrect this old SunFire after all.

Thanks

ens1371 works great, may actually add that it has some good quality output and the alsa drivers on sparc work top notch.
