Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

5This loads the driver for the Gravis Ultrasound family of sound cards.
6
7The gus module takes the following arguments
8
9io I/O address of the Ultrasound card (eg. io=0x220)
10irq IRQ of the Sound Blaster card
11dma DMA channel for the Sound Blaster
12dma16 2nd DMA channel, only needed for full duplex operation
13type 1 for PnP card
14gus16 1 for using 16 bit sampling daughter board
15no_wave_dma Set to disable DMA usage for wavetable (see note)
16db16 ???
17
18
19no_wave_dma option
20
21This option defaults to a value of 0, which allows the Ultrasound wavetable
22DSP to use DMA for for playback and downloading samples. This is the same
23as the old behaviour. If set to 1, no DMA is needed for downloading samples,
24and allows owners of a GUS MAX to make use of simultaneous digital audio
25(/dev/dsp), MIDI, and wavetable playback.
26
27
28If you have problems in recording with GUS MAX, you could try to use
29just one 8 bit DMA channel. Recording will not work with one DMA
30channel if it's a 16 bit one.
