In regards to the sound board chip it's a "cm18738" (at least the board I'm looking at) if that helps anybody out.
Yes, you're right, the CM I 8738 chip is used on original AB620-60503(a) sound card option for C8000. On chip you'll see the following notes:

But it doesn't absolutely mean that any CMI8738 sound card will work there (but it maybe supported by OSS/HPUX, as many other options, like Audigy or SB Live). The only proved option with this chip is a AB620-60503( x ) (philips 1602 rev X ), but it's usually hard to find and they are sell at high price, as bonus you'll have connectors for speaker and front-panel phones out.

Sound Maker option should also work on HP-UX/IA64 target, but i have only one positive report about it, and lazy to check it by myself
(i.e. i don't want to move this card from my C8000 to my rx2600 and install HP-UX on rx2600, which i don't have there, maybe later, when i'll get another one card).
