-        Installing and using Creative AWE midi sound under Linux.
-This documentation is devoted to the Creative Sound Blaster AWE32, AWE64 and 
-SB32.
-1) Make sure you have an ORIGINAL Creative SB32, AWE32 or AWE64 card. This
-   is important, because the driver works only with real Creative cards.
-2) The first thing you need to do is re-compile your kernel with support for
-   your sound card. Run your favourite tool to configure the kernel and when
-   you get to the "Sound" menu you should enable support for the following:
-   Sound card support,
-   OSS sound modules,
-   100% Sound Blaster compatibles (SB16/32/64, ESS, Jazz16) support,
-   AWE32 synth
-   If your card is "Plug and Play" you will also need to enable these two
-   options, found under the "Plug and Play configuration" menu:
-   Plug and Play support
-   ISA Plug and Play support
-   Now compile and install the kernel in normal fashion. If you don't know
-   how to do this you can find instructions for this in the README file
-   located in the root directory of the kernel source.
-3) Before you can start playing midi files you will have to load a sound
-   bank file. The utility needed for doing this is called "sfxload", and it
-   is one of the utilities found in a package called "awesfx". If this
-   package is not available in your distribution you can download the AWE
-   snapshot from Creative Labs Open Source website:
-   http://www.opensource.creative.com/snapshot.html
-   Once you have unpacked the AWE snapshot you will see a "awesfx"
-   directory. Follow the instructions in awesfx/docs/INSTALL to install the
-   utilities in this package. After doing this, sfxload should be installed
-   as:
-   /usr/local/bin/sfxload
-   To enable AWE general midi synthesis you should also get the sound bank
-   file for general midi from:
-   http://members.xoom.com/yar/synthgm.sbk.gz
-   Copy it to a directory of your choice, and unpack it there.
-4) Edit /etc/modprobe.conf, and insert the following lines at the end of the
-   file:
-  alias sound-slot-0 sb
-  alias sound-service-0-1 awe_wave
-  install awe_wave /sbin/modprobe --first-time -i awe_wave && /usr/local/bin/sfxload PATH_TO_SOUND_BANK_FILE
-  You will of course have to change "PATH_TO_SOUND_BANK_FILE" to the full
-  path of the sound bank file. That will enable the Sound Blaster and AWE
-  wave synthesis. To play midi files you should get one of these programs if
-  you don't already have them:
-  Playmidi:                     http://playmidi.openprojects.net
-  AWEMidi Player (drvmidi)      Included in the previously mentioned AWE
-                                snapshot.
-  You will probably have to pass the "-e" switch to playmidi to have it use
-  your midi device. drvmidi should work without switches.
-  If something goes wrong please e-mail me. All comments and suggestions are
-  welcome.

-        INSTALLATION OF AWE32 SOUND DRIVER FOR LINUX
-        Takashi Iwai    <iwai@ww.uni-erlangen.de>
-================================================================
----------------------------------------------------------------
-* Attention to SB-PnP Card Users
-If you're using PnP cards, the initialization of PnP is required
-before loading this driver.  You have now three options:
-  1. Use isapnptools.
-  2. Use in-kernel isapnp support.
-  3. Initialize PnP on DOS/Windows, then boot linux by loadlin.
-In this document, only the case 1 case is treated.
----------------------------------------------------------------
-* Installation on Red Hat 5.0 Sound Driver
-Please use install-rh.sh under RedHat5.0 directory.
-DO NOT USE install.sh below.
-See INSTALL.RH for more details.
----------------------------------------------------------------
-* Installation/Update by Shell Script
-  1. Become root
-        % su
-  2. If you have never configured the kernel tree yet, run make config
-    once (to make dependencies and symlinks).
-        # cd /usr/src/linux
-        # make xconfig
-    
-  3. Run install.sh script
-        # sh ./install.sh
-  4. Configure your kernel
-        (for Linux 2.[01].x user)
-        # cd /usr/src/linux
-        # make xconfig (or make menuconfig)
-        (for Linux 1.2.x user)
-        # cd /usr/src/linux
-        # make config
-    Answer YES to both "lowlevel drivers" and "AWE32 wave synth" items 
-    in Sound menu.  ("lowlevel drivers" will appear only in 2.x
-    kernel.)
-  5. Make your kernel (and modules), and install them as usual.
-        5a. make kernel image
-                # make zImage
-        5b. make modules and install them
-                # make modules && make modules_install
-        5c. If you're using lilo, copy the kernel image and run lilo.
-            Otherwise, copy the kernel image to suitable directory or
-            media for your system.
-  6. Reboot the kernel if necessary.
-        - If you updated only the modules, you don't have to reboot
-          the system.  Just remove the old sound modules here.
-                in 
-                # rmmod sound.o         (linux-2.0 or OSS/Free)
-                # rmmod awe_wave.o      (linux-2.1)
-  7. If your AWE card is a PnP and not initialized yet, you'll have to
-    do it by isapnp tools.  Otherwise, skip to 8.
-        This section described only a brief explanation.  For more
-        details, please see the AWE64-Mini-HOWTO or isapnp tools FAQ.
-        7a. If you have no isapnp.conf file, generate it by pnpdump.
-            Otherwise, skip to 7d.
-                # pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf
-        7b. Edit isapnp.conf file.  Comment out the appropriate
-            lines containing desirable I/O ports, DMA and IRQs.
-            Don't forget to enable (ACT Y) line.
-        7c. Add two i/o ports (0xA20 and 0xE20) in WaveTable part.
-            ex)
-                (CONFIGURE CTL0048/58128 (LD 2
-                #     ANSI string -->WaveTable<--
-                  (IO 0 (BASE 0x0620))
-                  (IO 1 (BASE 0x0A20))
-                  (IO 2 (BASE 0x0E20))
-                  (ACT Y)
-                ))
-        7d. Load the config file.
-            CAUTION: This will reset all PnP cards!
-                # isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
-  8. Load the sound module (if you configured it as a module):
-        for 2.0 kernel or OSS/Free monolithic module:
-                # modprobe sound.o
-        for 2.1 kernel:
-                # modprobe sound
-                # insmod uart401
-                # insmod sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
-                (These values depend on your settings.)
-                # insmod awe_wave
-                (Be sure to load awe_wave after sb!)
-                See Documentation/sound/oss/AWE32 for
-                more details.
-  9. (only for obsolete systems) If you don't have /dev/sequencer
-     device file, make it according to Readme.linux file on
-     /usr/src/linux/drivers/sound. (Run a shell script included in
-     that file). <-- This file no longer exists in the recent kernels!
-  10. OK, load your own soundfont file, and enjoy MIDI!
-        % sfxload synthgm.sbk
-        % drvmidi foo.mid
-  11. For more advanced use (eg. dynamic loading, virtual bank and
-      etc.), please read the awedrv FAQ or the instructions in awesfx
-      and awemidi packages.
-Good luck!

-        An OSS/Lite Driver for the ESS Maestro family of sound cards
-                        Zach Brown, December 1999
-Driver Status and Availability
------------------------------
-The most recent version of this driver will hopefully always be available at
-        http://www.zabbo.net/maestro/
-I will try and maintain the most recent stable version of the driver
-in both the stable and development kernel lines.
-ESS Maestro Chip Family
-----------------------
-There are 3 main variants of the ESS Maestro PCI sound chip.  The first
-is the Maestro 1.  It was originally produced by Platform Tech as the
-'AGOGO'.  It can be recognized by Platform Tech's PCI ID 0x1285 with
-0x0100 as the device ID.  It was put on some sound boards and a few laptops.  
-ESS bought the design and cleaned it up as the Maestro 2.  This starts
-their marking with the ESS vendor ID 0x125D and the 'year' device IDs.
-The Maestro 2 claims 0x1968 while the Maestro 2e has 0x1978.
-The various families of Maestro are mostly identical as far as this 
-driver is concerned.  It doesn't touch the DSP parts that differ (though
-it could for FM synthesis).
-Driver OSS Behavior
--------------------
-This OSS driver exports /dev/mixer and /dev/dsp to applications, which
-mostly adhere to the OSS spec.   This driver doesn't register itself
-with /dev/sndstat, so don't expect information to appear there.
-The /dev/dsp device exported behaves almost as expected.  Playback is
-supported in all the various lovely formats.  8/16bit stereo/mono from
-8khz to 48khz, and mmap()ing for playback behaves.  Capture/recording
-is limited due to oddities with the Maestro hardware.  One can only
-record in 16bit stereo.  For recording the maestro uses non interleaved
-stereo buffers so that mmap()ing the incoming data does not result in
-a ring buffer of LRLR data.  mmap()ing of the read buffers is therefore
-disallowed until this can be cleaned up.
-/dev/mixer is an interface to the AC'97 codec on the Maestro.  It is
-worth noting that there are a variety of AC'97s that can be wired to
-the Maestro.  Which is used is entirely up to the hardware implementor.
-This should only be visible to the user by the presence, or lack, of
-'Bass' and 'Treble' sliders in the mixer.  Not all AC'97s have them.
-The driver doesn't support MIDI or FM playback at the moment.  Typically
-the Maestro is wired to an MPU MIDI chip, but some hardware implementations
-don't.  We need to assemble a white list of hardware implementations that
-have MIDI wired properly before we can claim to support it safely.
-Compiling and Installing
------------------------
-With the drivers inclusion into the kernel, compiling and installing
-is the same as most OSS/Lite modular sound drivers.  Compilation
-of the driver is enabled through the CONFIG_SOUND_MAESTRO variable
-in the config system.  
-It may be modular or statically linked.  If it is modular it should be
-installed with the rest of the modules for the kernel on the system.
-Typically this will be in /lib/modules/ somewhere.  'alias sound maestro'
-should also be added to your module configs (typically /etc/conf.modules)
-if you're using modular OSS/Lite sound and want to default to using a
-maestro chip.
-As this is a PCI device, the module does not need to be informed of
-any IO or IRQ resources it should use, it devines these from the
-system.  Sometimes, on sucky PCs, the BIOS fails to allocated resources
-for the maestro.  This will result in a message like:
-        maestro: PCI subsystem reports IRQ 0, this might not be correct.
-from the kernel.  Should this happen the sound chip most likely will
-not operate correctly.  To solve this one has to dig through their BIOS
-(typically entered by hitting a hot key at boot time) and figure out
-what magic needs to happen so that the BIOS will reward the maestro with
-an IRQ.  This operation is incredibly system specific, so you're on your
-own.  Sometimes the magic lies in 'PNP Capable Operating System' settings.
-There are very few options to the driver.  One is 'debug' which will 
-tell the driver to print minimal debugging information as it runs.  This
-can be collected with 'dmesg' or through the klogd daemon.
-The other, more interesting option, is 'dsps_order'.  Typically at
-install time the driver will only register one available /dev/dsp device
-for its use.  The 'dsps_order' module parameter allows for more devices
-to be allocated, as a power of two.  Up to 4 devices can be registered
-( dsps_order=2 ).  These devices act as fully distinct units and use
-separate channels in the maestro.
-Power Management
----------------
-As of version 0.14, this driver has a minimal understanding of PCI
-Power Management.  If it finds a valid power management capability
-on the PCI device it will attempt to use the power management
-functions of the maestro.  It will only do this on Maestro 2Es and
-only on machines that are known to function well.  You can
-force the use of power management by setting the 'use_pm' module
-option to 1, or can disable it entirely by setting it to 0.
-When using power management, the driver does a few things
-differently.  It will keep the chip in a lower power mode
-when the module is inserted but /dev/dsp is not open.  This
-allows the mixer to function but turns off the clocks
-on other parts of the chip.  When /dev/dsp is opened the chip
-is brought into full power mode, and brought back down
-when it is closed.  It also powers down the chip entirely
-when the module is removed or the machine is shutdown.  This
-can have nonobvious consequences.  CD audio may not work
-after a power managing driver is removed.  Also, software that
-doesn't understand power management may not be able to talk
-to the powered down chip until the machine goes through a hard
-reboot to bring it back.
-.. more details ..
------------------
-drivers/sound/maestro.c contains comments that hopefully explain
-the maestro implementation.

-        An OSS/Lite Driver for the ESS Maestro3 family of sound chips
-                        Zach Brown, January 2001
-Driver Status and Availability

-I will try and maintain the most recent stable version of the driver

-Historically I've sucked pretty hard at actually doing that, however.
-ESS Maestro3 Chip Family
-----------------------
-The 'Maestro3' is much like the Maestro2 chip.  The noted improvement
-is the removal of the silicon in the '2' that did PCM mixing.  All that
-work is now done through a custom DSP called the ASSP, the Asynchronus
-Specific Signal Processor.
-The 'Allegro' is a baby version of the Maestro3.  I'm not entirely clear
-on the extent of the differences, but the driver supports them both :)
-The 'Allegro' shows up as PCI ID 0x1988 and the Maestro3 as 0x1998,
-both under ESS's vendor ID of 0x125D.  The Maestro3 can also show up as
-0x199a when hardware strapping is used.
-The chip can also act as a multi function device.  The modem IDs follow
-the audio multimedia device IDs.  (so the modem part of an Allegro shows
-up as 0x1989)

--------------------
-This OSS driver exports /dev/mixer and /dev/dsp to applications, which
-mostly adhere to the OSS spec.   This driver doesn't register itself

-'Bass' and 'Treble' sliders in the mixer.  Not all AC'97s have them.
-The Allegro has an onchip AC'97.
-The driver doesn't support MIDI or FM playback at the moment.
-Compiling and Installing
------------------------
-With the drivers inclusion into the kernel, compiling and installing
-is the same as most OSS/Lite modular sound drivers.  Compilation
-of the driver is enabled through the CONFIG_SOUND_MAESTRO3 variable
-in the config system.  
-It may be modular or statically linked.  If it is modular it should be
-installed with the rest of the modules for the kernel on the system.
-Typically this will be in /lib/modules/ somewhere.  'alias sound-slot-0
-maestro3' should also be added to your module configs (typically
-/etc/modprobe.conf) if you're using modular OSS/Lite sound and want to
-default to using a maestro3 chip.
-There are very few options to the driver.  One is 'debug' which will 
-tell the driver to print minimal debugging information as it runs.  This
-can be collected with 'dmesg' or through the klogd daemon.
-One is 'external_amp', which tells the driver to attempt to enable
-an external amplifier.  This defaults to '1', you can tell the driver
-not to bother enabling such an amplifier by setting it to '0'.
-And the last is 'gpio_pin', which tells the driver which GPIO pin number
-the external amp uses (0-15), The Allegro uses 8 by default, all others 1.
-If everything loads correctly and seems to be working but you get no sound, 
-try tweaking this value. 
-Systems known to need a different value
-        Panasonic ToughBook CF-72: gpio_pin=13 
-Power Management
----------------
-This driver has a minimal understanding of PCI Power Management.  It will
-try and power down the chip when the system is suspended, and power
-it up with it is resumed.  It will also try and power down the chip
-when the machine is shut down.

-Linux 2.4 Sound Changes
-2000-September-25
-Christoph Hellwig, <hch@infradead.org>
-=== isapnp support
-The Linux 2.4 Kernel does have reliable in-kernel isapnp support.
-Some drivers (sb.o, ad1816.o awe_wave.o) do now support automatically
-detecting and configuring isapnp devices.
-If you have a not yet supported isapnp soundcard, mail me the content
-of '/proc/isapnp' on your system and some information about your card
-and its driver(s) so I can try to get isapnp working for it.
-=== soundcard resources on kernel commandline
-Before Linux 2.4 you had to specify the resources for sounddrivers
-statically linked into the kernel at compile time
-(in make config/menuconfig/xconfig). In Linux 2.4 the resources are
-now specified at the boot-time kernel commandline (e.g. the lilo
-'append=' line or everything that's after the kernel name in grub).
-Read the Configure.help entry for your card for the parameters.
-=== softoss is gone
-In Linux 2.4 the softoss in-kernel software synthesizer is no more aviable.
-Use a user space software synthesizer like timidity instead.
-=== /dev/sndstat and /proc/sound are gone
-In older Linux versions those files exported some information about the
-OSS/Free configuration to userspace. In Linux 2.3 they were removed because
-they did not support the growing number of pci soundcards and there were
-some general problems with this interface.

-OPL3-SA1 sound driver (opl3sa.o)
---
-Note: This howto only describes how to setup the OPL3-SA1 chip; this info
-does not apply to the SA2, SA3, or SA4. 
---
-The Yamaha OPL3-SA1 sound chip is usually found built into motherboards, and
-it's a decent little chip offering a WSS mode, a SB Pro emulation mode, MPU401
-and OPL3 FM Synth capabilities.
-You can enable inclusion of the driver via CONFIG_SOUND_OPL3SA1=m, or
-CONFIG_SOUND_OPL3SA1=y through 'make config/xconfig/menuconfig'.
-You'll need to know all of the relevant info (irq, dma, and io port) for the
-chip's WSS mode, since that is the mode the kernel sound driver uses, and of
-course you'll also need to know about where the MPU401 and OPL3 ports and
-IRQs are if you want to use those.
-Here's the skinny on how to load it as a module:
-        modprobe opl3sa io=0x530 irq=11 dma=0 dma2=1 mpu_io=0x330 mpu_irq=5
-Module options in detail:
-        io:     This is the WSS's port base.
-        irq:    This is the WSS's IRQ.
-        dma:    This is the WSS's DMA line. In my BIOS setup screen this was
-                listed as "WSS Play DMA"
-        dma2:   This is the WSS's secondary DMA line. My BIOS calls it the
-                "WSS capture DMA"
-        
-        mpu_io: This is the MPU401's port base.
-        mpu_irq: This is the MPU401's IRQ.
-If you'd like to use the OPL3 FM Synthesizer, make sure you enable
-CONFIG_SOUND_YM3812 (in 'make config'). That'll build the opl3.o module.
-Then a simple 'insmod opl3 io=0x388', and you now have FM Synth.
-You can also use the SoftOSS software synthesizer instead of the builtin OPL3.
-Here's how:
-Say 'y' or 'm' to "SoftOSS software wave table engine" in make config.
-If you said yes, the software synth is available once you boot your new
-kernel.
-If you chose to build it as a module, just insmod the resulting softoss2.o

-================================================================
-        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.

-             An OSS/Free Driver for WaveFront soundcards
-               (Turtle Beach Maui, Tropez, Tropez Plus)
-                     Paul Barton-Davis, July 1998
-                          VERSION 0.2.5
-Driver Status
-------------
-Requires: Kernel 2.1.106 or later (the driver is included with kernels
-2.1.109 and above)
-          
-As of 7/22/1998, this driver is currently in *BETA* state. This means
-that it compiles and runs, and that I use it on my system (Linux
-2.1.106) with some reasonably demanding applications and uses.  I
-believe the code is approaching an initial "finished" state that
-provides bug-free support for the Tropez Plus.
-Please note that to date, the driver has ONLY been tested on a Tropez
-Plus. I would very much like to hear (and help out) people with Tropez
-and Maui cards, since I think the driver can support those cards as
-well. 
-Finally, the driver has not been tested (or even compiled) as a static
-(non-modular) part of the kernel. Alan Cox's good work in modularizing
-OSS/Free for Linux makes this rather unnecessary.
-Some Questions
--------------
-**********************************************************************
-0) What does this driver do that the maui driver did not ?
-**********************************************************************
-* can fully initialize a WaveFront card from cold boot - no DOS 
-          utilities needed
-* working patch/sample/program loading and unloading (the maui
-      driver didn't document how to make this work, and assumed
-      user-level preparation of the patch data for writing
-      to the board. ick.)
-* full user-level access to all WaveFront commands
-* for the Tropez Plus, (primitive) control of the YSS225 FX processor
-* Virtual MIDI mode supported - 2 MIDI devices accessible via the
-          WaveFront's MPU401/UART emulation. One
-          accesses the WaveFront synth, the other accesses the
-          external MIDI connector. Full MIDI read/write semantics
-          for both devices.
-* OSS-compliant /dev/sequencer interface for the WaveFront synth,
-          including native and GUS-format patch downloading.
-* semi-intelligent patch management (prototypical at this point)
-**********************************************************************
-1) What to do about MIDI interfaces ?
-**********************************************************************
-The Tropez Plus (and perhaps other WF cards) can in theory support up
-to 2 physical MIDI interfaces. One of these is connected to the
-ICS2115 chip (the WaveFront synth itself) and is controlled by
-MPU/UART-401 emulation code running as part of the WaveFront OS.  The
-other is controlled by the CS4232 chip present on the board. However,
-physical access to the CS4232 connector is difficult, and it is
-unlikely (though not impossible) that you will want to use it.
-An older version of this driver introduced an additional kernel config
-variable which controlled whether or not the CS4232 MIDI interface was
-configured. Because of Alan Cox's work on modularizing the sound
-drivers, and now backporting them to 2.0.34 kernels, there seems to be
-little reason to support "static" configuration variables, and so this
-has been abandoned in favor of *only* module parameters. Specifying
-"mpuio" and "mpuirq" for the cs4232 parameter will result in the
-CS4232 MIDI interface being configured; leaving them unspecified will
-leave it unconfigured (and thus unusable).
-BTW, I have heard from one Tropez+ user that the CS4232 interface is
-more reliable than the ICS2115 one. I have had no problems with the
-latter, and I don't have the right cable to test the former one
-out. Reports welcome.
-**********************************************************************
-2) Why does line XXX of the code look like this .... ?
-**********************************************************************
-Either because it's not finished yet, or because you're a better coder
-than I am, or because you don't understand some aspect of how the card
-or the code works. 
-I absolutely welcome comments, criticisms and suggestions about the
-design and implementation of the driver. 
-**********************************************************************
-3) What files are included ?

-************************************************************
-6) How do I configure my card ?
-************************************************************
-You need to edit /etc/modprobe.conf. Here's mine (edited to show the
-relevant details):
-  # Sound system
-  alias char-major-14-* wavefront
-  alias synth0 wavefront
-  alias mixer0 cs4232
-  alias audio0 cs4232
-  install wavefront /sbin/modprobe cs4232 && /sbin/modprobe -i wavefront && /sbin/modprobe opl3
-  options wavefront io=0x200 irq=9
-  options cs4232 synthirq=9 synthio=0x200 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0
-  options opl3 io=0x388
-Things to note: 
-       the wavefront options "io" and "irq" ***MUST*** match the "synthio"
-       and "synthirq" cs4232 options.
-       you can do without the opl3 module if you don't
-       want to use the OPL/[34] FM synth on the soundcard
-       the opl3 io parameter is conventionally not adjustable.
-       In theory, any not-in-use IO port address would work, but
-       just use 0x388 and stick with the crowd.
-**********************************************************************
-7) What about firmware ?
-**********************************************************************
-Turtle Beach have not given me permission to distribute their firmware
-for the ICS2115. However, if you have a WaveFront card, then you
-almost certainly have the firmware, and if not, its freely available
-on their website, at:
-   http://www.tbeach.com/tbs/downloads/scardsdown.htm#tropezplus 
-The file is called WFOS2001.MOT (for the Tropez+).
-This driver, however, doesn't use the pure firmware as distributed,
-but instead relies on a somewhat processed form of it. You can
-generate this very easily. Following an idea from Andrew Veliath's
-Pinnacle driver, the following flex program will generate the
-processed version:
---- cut here -------------------------
-%option main
-%%

-To use it, put the above in file (say, ws.l) compile it like this:
-      shell> flex -ows.c ws.l
-      shell> cc -o ws ws.c
-      
-and then use it like this:
-    ws < my-copy-of-the-oswf.mot-file > /etc/sound/wavefront.os
-If you put it somewhere else, you'll always have to use the wf_ospath
-module parameter (see below) or alter the source code.
-**********************************************************************
-7) How do I get it working ?
-**********************************************************************
-Optionally, you can reboot with the "new" kernel (even though the only
-changes have really been made to a module).
-Then, as root do:
-     modprobe wavefront
-You should get something like this in /var/log/messages:
-    WaveFront: firmware 1.20 already loaded.
-or 
-    WaveFront: no response to firmware probe, assume raw.
-then:
-    WaveFront: waiting for memory configuration ...
-    WaveFront: hardware version 1.64
-    WaveFront: available DRAM 8191k
-    WaveFront: 332 samples used (266 real, 13 aliases, 53 multi), 180 empty
-    WaveFront: 128 programs slots in use
-    WaveFront: 256 patch slots filled, 142 in use
-The whole process takes about 16 seconds, the longest waits being
-after reporting the hardware version (during the firmware download),
-and after reporting program status (during patch status inquiry).  Its
-shorter (about 10 secs) if the firmware is already loaded (i.e. only
-warm reboots since the last firmware load).
-The "available DRAM" line will vary depending on how much added RAM
-your card has. Mine has 8MB.
-To check basically functionality, use play(1) or splay(1) to send a
-.WAV or other audio file through the audio portion. Then use playmidi
-to play a General MIDI file. Try the "-D 0" to hear the
-difference between sending MIDI to the WaveFront and using the OPL/3,
-which is the default (I think ...). If you have an external synth(s)
-hooked to the soundcard, you can use "-e" to route to the
-external synth(s) (in theory, -D 1 should work as well, but I think
-there is a bug in playmidi which prevents this from doing what it
-should). 
-**********************************************************************
-8) What are the module parameters ?
-**********************************************************************
-Its best to read wavefront.c for this, but here is a summary:
-integers: 
-          wf_raw  - if set, ignore apparent presence of firmware
-                    loaded onto the ICS2115, reset the whole
-                    board, and initialize it from scratch. (default = 0)
-          fx_raw  - if set, always initialize the YSS225 processor
-                    on the Tropez plus. (default = 1)
-          < The next 4 are basically for kernel hackers to allow
-            tweaking the driver for testing purposes. >             
-          wait_usecs        -  loop timer used when waiting for
-                               status conditions on the board. 
-                               The default is 150.
-          debug_default    - debugging flags. See sound/wavefront.h
-                             for WF_DEBUG_* values. Default is zero.
-                             Setting this allows you to debug the
-                             driver during module installation.
-strings:
-          ospath - path to get to the pre-processed OS firmware.
-                    (default: /etc/sound/wavefront.os)

-/proc/sound, /dev/sndstat
-------------------------
-/proc/sound and /dev/sndstat is not supported by the
-driver. To find out whether the driver succeeded loading,
-check the kernel log (dmesg).
-ALaw/uLaw sample formats
------------------------
-This driver does not support the ALaw/uLaw sample formats.
-ALaw is the default mode when opening a sound device
-using OSS/Free. The reason for the lack of support is
-that the hardware does not support these formats, and adding
-conversion routines to the kernel would lead to very ugly
-code in the presence of the mmap interface to the driver.
-And since xquake uses mmap, mmap is considered important :-)
-and no sane application uses ALaw/uLaw these days anyway.
-In short, playing a Sun .au file as follows:
-cat my_file.au > /dev/dsp
-does not work. Instead, you may use the play script from
-Chris Bagwell's sox-12.14 package (available from the URL
-below) to play many different audio file formats.
-The script automatically determines the audio format
-and does do audio conversions if necessary.
-http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/cbagwell/projects.html
-Blocking vs. nonblocking IO
---------------------------
-Unlike OSS/Free this driver honours the O_NONBLOCK file flag
-not only during open, but also during read and write.
-This is an effort to make the sound driver interface more
-regular. Timidity has problems with this; a patch
-is available from http://www.ife.ee.ethz.ch/~sailer/linux/pciaudio.html.
-(Timidity patched will also run on OSS/Free).
-MIDI UART
---------
-The driver supports a simple MIDI UART interface, with
-no ioctl's supported.
-MIDI synthesizer
----------------
-This soundcard does not have any hardware MIDI synthesizer;
-MIDI synthesis has to be done in software. To allow this
-the driver/soundcard supports two PCM (/dev/dsp) interfaces.
-The second one goes to the mixer "synth" setting and supports
-only a limited set of sampling rates (44100, 22050, 11025, 5512).
-By setting lineout to 1 on the driver command line
-(eg. insmod es1370 lineout=1) it is even possible on some
-cards to convert the LINEIN jack into a second LINEOUT jack, thus
-making it possible to output four independent audio channels!
-There is a freely available software package that allows
-MIDI file playback on this soundcard called Timidity.
-See http://www.cgs.fi/~tt/timidity/.

-Beta release of the rme96xx (driver for RME 96XX cards like the 
-"Hammerfall" and the "Hammerfall light") 
-Important: The driver module has to be installed on a freshly rebooted system, 
-otherwise the driver might not be able to acquire its buffers.
-features:
- - OSS programming interface (i.e. runs with standard OSS soundsoftware) 
- - OSS/Multichannel interface (OSS multichannel is done by just aquiring
-   more than 2 channels). The driver does not use more than one device 
-   ( yet .. this feature may be implemented later ) 
- - more than one RME card supported
-The driver uses a specific multichannel interface, which I will document
-when the driver gets stable. (take a look at the defines in rme96xx.h,
-which adds blocked multichannel formats i.e instead of 
-lrlrlrlr --> llllrrrr  etc.
-Use the "rmectrl" programm to look at the status of the card .. 
-or use xrmectrl, a GUI interface for the ctrl program.
-What you can do with the rmectrl program is to set the stereo device for
-OSS emulation (e.g. if you use SPDIF out).
-You do:
-./ctrl offset 24 24
-which makes the stereo device use channels 25 and 26.
-Guenter Geiger <geiger@epy.co.at>
-copy the first part of the attached source code into rmectrl.c
-and the  second part into xrmectrl (or get the program from
-http://gige.xdv.org/pages/soft/pages/rme)
-to compile: gcc -o rmectrl rmectrl.c

-Recording
---------
-Recording does not work on the author's card, but there
-is at least one report of it working on later silicon.
-The chip behaves differently than described in the data sheet,
-likely due to a chip bug. Working around this would require
-the help of ESS (for example by publishing an errata sheet),
-but ESS has not done so far.
-Also, the chip only supports 24 bit addresses for recording,
-which means it cannot work on some Alpha mainboards.
-/proc/sound, /dev/sndstat
-------------------------
-/proc/sound and /dev/sndstat is not supported by the
-driver. To find out whether the driver succeeded loading,
-check the kernel log (dmesg).
-ALaw/uLaw sample formats
------------------------
-This driver does not support the ALaw/uLaw sample formats.
-ALaw is the default mode when opening a sound device
-using OSS/Free. The reason for the lack of support is
-that the hardware does not support these formats, and adding
-conversion routines to the kernel would lead to very ugly
-code in the presence of the mmap interface to the driver.
-And since xquake uses mmap, mmap is considered important :-)
-and no sane application uses ALaw/uLaw these days anyway.
-In short, playing a Sun .au file as follows:
-cat my_file.au > /dev/dsp
-does not work. Instead, you may use the play script from
-Chris Bagwell's sox-12.14 package (or later, available from the URL
-below) to play many different audio file formats.
-The script automatically determines the audio format
-and does do audio conversions if necessary.
-http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/cbagwell/projects.html
-Blocking vs. nonblocking IO
---------------------------
-Unlike OSS/Free this driver honours the O_NONBLOCK file flag
-not only during open, but also during read and write.
-This is an effort to make the sound driver interface more
-regular. Timidity has problems with this; a patch
-is available from http://www.ife.ee.ethz.ch/~sailer/linux/pciaudio.html.
-(Timidity patched will also run on OSS/Free).
-MIDI UART
---------
-The driver supports a simple MIDI UART interface, with
-no ioctl's supported.
-MIDI synthesizer
----------------
-The card has an OPL compatible FM synthesizer.

-MIDI UART
---------
-The driver supports a simple MIDI UART interface, with
-no ioctl's supported.
-MIDI synthesizer
----------------
-The card both has an OPL compatible FM synthesizer as well as
-a wavetable synthesizer.
-I haven't managed so far to get the OPL synth running.
-Using the wavetable synthesizer requires allocating
-1-4MB of physically contiguous memory, which isn't possible
-currently on Linux without ugly hacks like the bigphysarea
-patch. Therefore, the driver doesn't support wavetable
-synthesis.
-No support from S3
------------------
-I do not get any support from S3. Therefore, the driver
-still has many problems. For example, although the manual
-states that the chip should be able to access the sample
-buffer anywhere in 32bit address space, I haven't managed to
-get it working with buffers above 16M. Therefore, the card
-has the same disadvantages as ISA soundcards.
-Given that the card is also very noisy, and if you haven't
-already bought it, you should strongly opt for one of the
-comparatively priced Ensoniq products.
