-================================================================
-        AWE32 Sound Driver for Linux / FreeBSD
-                version 0.4.3; Nov. 1, 1998
-
-        Takashi Iwai <iwai@ww.uni-erlangen.de>
-================================================================
-
-* GENERAL NOTES
-
-This is a sound driver extension for SoundBlaster AWE32 and other
-compatible cards (AWE32-PnP, SB32, SB32-PnP, AWE64 & etc) to enable
-the wave synth operations.  The driver is provided for Linux 1.2.x
-and 2.[012].x kernels, as well as FreeBSD, on Intel x86 and DEC
-Alpha systems.
-
-This driver was written by Takashi Iwai <iwai@ww.uni-erlangen.de>,
-and provided "as is".  The original source (awedrv-0.4.3.tar.gz) and
-binary packages are available on the following URL:
-        http://bahamut.mm.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~iwai/awedrv/
-Note that since the author is apart from this web site, the update is
-not frequent now.
-
-
-* NOTE TO LINUX USERS
-
-To enable this driver on linux-2.[01].x kernels, you need turn on 
-"AWE32 synth" options in sound menu when configure your linux kernel
-and modules.  The precise installation procedure is described in the
-AWE64-Mini-HOWTO and linux-kernel/Documetation/sound/AWE32.
-
-If you're using PnP cards, the card must be initialized before loading
-the sound driver.  There're several options to do this:
-    - Initialize the card via ISA PnP tools, and load the sound module.
-    - Initialize the card on DOS, and load linux by loadlin.exe
-    - Use PnP kernel driver (for Linux-2.x.x)
-The detailed instruction for the solution using isapnp tools is found
-in many documents like above.  A brief instruction is also included in
-the installation document of this package.
-For PnP driver project, please refer to the following URL:
-        http://www-jcr.lmh.ox.ac.uk/~pnp/
-
-
-* USING THE DRIVER
-
-The awedrv has several different playing modes to realize easy channel 
-allocation for MIDI songs.  To hear the exact sound quality, you need
-to obtain the extended sequencer program, drvmidi or playmidi-2.5.
-
-For playing MIDI files, you *MUST* load the soundfont file on the
-driver previously by sfxload utility.  Otherwise you'll here no sounds 
-at all!  All the utilities and driver source packages are found in the
-above URL.  The sfxload program is included in the package
-awesfx-0.4.3.tgz.  Binary packages are available there, too.  See the
-instruction in each package for installation.
-
-Loading a soundfont file is very simple.  Just execute the command
-
-        % sfxload synthgm.sbk
-
-Then, sfxload transfers the file "synthgm.sbk" to the driver.
-Both SF1 and SF2 formats are accepted.
-
-Now you can hear midi musics by a midi player.
-
-        % drvmidi foo.mid
-
-If you run MIDI player after MOD player, you need to load soundfont
-files again, since MOD player programs clear the previous loaded
-samples by their own data.
-
-If you have only 512kb on the sound card, I recommend to use dynamic
-sample loading via -L option of drvmidi.  2MB GM/GS soundfont file is
-available in most midi files.
-
-        % sfxload synthgm
-        % drvmidi -L 2mbgmgs foo.mid
-
-This makes a big difference (believe me)!  For more details, please
-refer to the FAQ list which is available on the URL above.
-
-The current chorus, reverb and equalizer status can be changed by
-aweset utility program (included in awesfx package).  Note that
-some awedrv-native programs (like drvmidi and xmp) will change the
-current settings by themselves.  The aweset program is effective
-only for other programs like playmidi.
-
-Enjoy.
-
-
-* COMPILE FLAGS
-
-Compile conditions are defined in awe_config.h.
-
-[Compatibility Conditions]
-The following flags are defined automatically when using installation
-shell script.
-
-- AWE_MODULE_SUPPORT
-    indicates your Linux kernel supports module for each sound card
-    (in recent 2.1 or 2.2 kernels and unofficial patched 2.0 kernels
-    as distributed in the RH5.0 package).
-    This flag is automatically set when you're using 2.1.x kernels.
-    You can pass the base address and memory size via the following
-    module options,
-        io = base I/O port address (eg. 0x620)
-        memsize = DRAM size in kilobytes (eg. 512)
-    As default, AWE driver probes these values automatically.
-
-
-[Hardware Conditions]
-You DON'T have to define the following two values.
-Define them only when the driver couldn't detect the card properly.
-
-- AWE_DEFAULT_BASE_ADDR         (default: not defined)
-    specifies the base port address of your AWE32 card.
-    0 means to autodetect the address.
-
-- AWE_DEFAULT_MEM_SIZE          (default: not defined)
-    specifies the memory size of your AWE32 card in kilobytes.
-    -1 means to autodetect its size.
-    
-
-[Sample Table Size]
-From ver.0.4.0, sample tables are allocated dynamically (except
-Linux-1.2.x system), so you need NOT to touch these parameters.
-Linux-1.2.x users may need to increase these values to appropriate size 
-if the sound card is equipped with more DRAM.
-
-- AWE_MAX_SF_LISTS, AWE_MAX_SAMPLES, AWE_MAX_INFOS
-
-
-[Other Conditions]
-
-- AWE_ALWAYS_INIT_FM            (default: not defined)
-    indicates the AWE driver always initialize FM passthrough even
-    without DRAM on board.  Emu8000 chip has a restriction for playing
-    samples on DRAM that at least two channels must be occupied as
-    passthrough channels. 
-
-- AWE_DEBUG_ON                  (default: defined)
-    turns on debugging messages if defined.
-
-- AWE_HAS_GUS_COMPATIBILITY     (default: defined)
-    Enables GUS compatibility mode if defined, reading GUS patches and 
-    GUS control commands.  Define this option to use GMOD or other
-    GUS module players.
-
-- CONFIG_AWE32_MIDIEMU          (default: defined)
-    Adds a MIDI emulation device by Emu8000 wavetable.  The emulation
-    device can be accessed as an external MIDI, and sends the MIDI
-    control codes directly.  XG and GS sysex/NRPN are accepted.
-    No MIDI input is supported.
-
-- CONFIG_AWE32_MIXER            (default: not defined)
-    Adds a mixer device for AWE32 bass/treble equalizer control.
-    You can access this device using /dev/mixer?? (usually mixer01).
-
-- AWE_USE_NEW_VOLUME_CALC       (default: defined)
-    Use the new method to calculate the volume change as compatible
-    with DOS/Win drivers.  This option can be toggled via aweset
-    program, or drvmidi player.
-
-- AWE_CHECK_VTARGET             (default: defined)
-    Check the current volume target value when searching for an
-    empty channel to allocate a new voice.  This is experimentally
-    implemented in this version.  (probably, this option doesn't
-    affect the sound quality severely...)
-
-- AWE_ALLOW_SAMPLE_SHARING      (default: defined)
-   Allow sample sharing for differently loaded patches.
-   This function is available only together with awesfx-0.4.3p3.
-   Note that this is still an experimental option.
-
-- DEF_FM_CHORUS_DEPTH           (default: 0x10)
-    The default strength to be sent to the chorus effect engine.
-    From 0 to 0xff.  Larger numbers may often cause weird sounds.
-
-- DEF_FM_REVERB_DEPTH           (default: 0x10)
-    The default strength to be sent to the reverb effect engine.
-    From 0 to 0xff.  Larger numbers may often cause weird sounds.
-

-MOD player, ALMP.
-The port of awedrv to FreeBSD is done by Randall Hopper
-(rhh@ct.picker.com).
-The new volume calculation routine was derived from Mark Weaver's
-ADIP compatible routines.
-I also thank linux-awe-ml members for their efforts
-to reboot their system many times :-)
-
-
