7=== isapnp support
8
9The Linux 2.4 Kernel does have reliable in-kernel isapnp support.
10Some drivers (sb.o, ad1816.o awe_wave.o) do now support automatically
11detecting and configuring isapnp devices.
12If you have a not yet supported isapnp soundcard, mail me the content
13of '/proc/isapnp' on your system and some information about your card
14and its driver(s) so I can try to get isapnp working for it.

18=== soundcard resources on kernel commandline
19
20Before Linux 2.4 you had to specify the resources for sounddrivers
21statically linked into the kernel at compile time
22(in make config/menuconfig/xconfig). In Linux 2.4 the resources are
23now specified at the boot-time kernel commandline (e.g. the lilo
24'append=' line or everything that's after the kernel name in grub).
25Read the Configure.help entry for your card for the parameters.

28=== softoss is gone
29
30In Linux 2.4 the softoss in-kernel software synthesizer is no more aviable.
31Use a user space software synthesizer like timidity instead.

35=== /dev/sndstat and /proc/sound are gone
36
37In older Linux versions those files exported some information about the
38OSS/Free configuration to userspace. In Linux 2.3 they were removed because
39they did not support the growing number of pci soundcards and there were
40some general problems with this interface.
