From 1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2005 15:20:36 -0700 Subject: Linux-2.6.12-rc2 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.

The PSS driver enables MSS and MPU401 modes of the card. SB +is not enabled since it doesn't work concurrently with MSS. + +If you build this driver as a module then the driver takes the following +parameters + +pss_io. The I/O base the PSS card is configured at (normally 0x220 + or 0x240) + +mss_io The base address of the Microsoft Sound System interface. + This is normally 0x530, but may be 0x604 or other addresses. + +mss_irq The interrupt assigned to the Microsoft Sound System + emulation. IRQ's 3,5,7,9,10,11 and 12 are available. If you + get IRQ errors be sure to check the interrupt is set to + "ISA/Legacy" in the BIOS on modern machines. + +mss_dma The DMA channel used by the Microsoft Sound System. + This can be 0, 1, or 3. DMA 0 is not available on older + machines and will cause a crash on them. + +mpu_io The MPU emulation base address. This sets the base of the + synthesizer. It is typically 0x330 but can be altered. + +mpu_irq The interrupt to use for the synthesizer. It must differ + from the IRQ used by the Microsoft Sound System port. + + +The mpu_io/mpu_irq fields are optional. If they are not specified the +synthesizer parts are not configured. + +When the module is loaded it looks for a file called +/etc/sound/pss_synth. This is the firmware file from the DOS install disks. +This fil holds a general MIDI emulation. The file expected is called +genmidi.ld on newer DOS driver install disks and synth.ld on older ones. + +You can also load alternative DSP algorithms into the card if you wish.
