Modules:

sound.o:        This is the core of the sound system. As this module has to
               grab a large amount of DMA memory it should ideally be loaded
               near boot time and kept loaded (kerneld here is a bad idea
               in 2.0.x). The module takes no arguments.

ad1848.o:       Low level support for the AD1848/CS4248 codec used by
               things like the microsoft sound system. This has no
               configuration variables and provides only the support
               routines for other drivers. You can build this with
               -DDESKPROXL for compaq deskpro XL support. Thats a 'test'
               feature also in the original code.

adlib_card.o:   Support for the adlib card. This is basically an OPL3 on
               a board. Takes an io= argument for the I/O address of the
               OPL3 chip. The adlib has no interrupts.

aedsp.o:        Audio Excel DSP configuration module. Not yet converted
               FIXME:

cs4232.o:       Low level driver for the Crystal CS4232 derived cards
               and motherboard sound.

               Configuration items
               irq = board irq
               io = board io
               dma = 8bit DMA channel, 16bit DMA channel

gus.o:          GUS, GUS Max, GUS16 driver.

               Configuration items
               irq = board irq
               io = board io
               dma = 8bit DMA channel, 16bit DMA channel
               type = card type
                       The type is normally autodetected but you can hint
                       0 = GUS/MAX/ACE
                       1 = GUS/PnP


               Needs the firmware to be installed before booting.

mad16.o:        MAD16 and relatives (Mozart et al)

               Lots and lots of configuration (I've extracted out the
               compiled in #defines in the original driver)

               io = board io
               irq = board irq
               dma16 = 16bit DMA (not always needed)
               dma = 8bit DMA
               cdtype = Type of CD attachment
               0 = none
               2 = CDU31A
               4 = Mitsumi
               6 = Panasonic
               8 = Secondary IDE
               10 = Primary IDE

               cdirq = CD irq if relevant

               cdport = CD I/O port

                       0x320
                       0x330
                       0x340
                       0x360
               [Ignored if cdtype is IDE]

               cddma = CD DMA channel (if relevant)

               opl4 = enable OPL/4 (not Mozart)

               joystick = 1 to enable joystick.


maui.o:         Turtle Beach Maui and Tropez card driver
               Firmware must be loaded before booting Linux

               io = i/o address
               irq = irq to use


mpu401.o:       Driver for MPU401 cards

               io = i/o address, irq = irq to use

               Normally you would not specify these. The cards with
               an MPU401 will do it for you. By default the module
               if just loads runs as a library for other modules

opl3.o:         Driver for the OPL3 synth chip.

               io = i/o address

               Normally you would not specify this. Boards with OPL3
               support will use this module directly. By default the
               module loads just as a library.

pas2.o:         Driver for the Pro AudioSpectrum, CBPC, Pro AudioSpectrum16
               and ProAudioSpectrum-D cards

               Compile time defines

               -DBROKEN_BUS_CLOCK - supports machines with broken ISA
                               bus timings. Only enable for these (guess
                               thats a tech support handy hint;)) - if your
                               sound is off/bad try it.

               FIXME: Make "joystick" setting module settable.

               Usual parameters

               io = i/o address
               irq = irq for board
               dma = DMA channel, 16bit DMA channel

pss.o:          Driver for the Personal Sound System. Needs a warmboot
               with firmware loaded to run the synth support.

               io = I/O address of board
               irq = interrupt for board

sb.o:           Soundblaster and related cards. Also as a support module
               for some "semi clone" cards.

               io = IO for card
               irq = IRQ for card
               dma = 8bit DMA, 16bit DMA channel
               type = card type

                       0 - autoprobe
                       1 - SB1.0 or 1.5
                       2 - SB2.0
                       3 - SB2.01
                       4 - SB pro
                       5 - SB 16/32/AWE
                       10 - Jazz16
                       11 - Logitech Soundman Wave
                       12 - ESS ES688/ES1688
                       13 -  Aztech Sound Galaxy

               trix = 1  Load as library for trix.o
               pas2 = 1  Load as library for pas2
               mad16 = 1 Load as module for the MAD16
                         Normally setting the type isn't needed
               acer = 1  Load as library for ACER laptop sb clones.

               sm_games = 1 Logitech Soundman games. Setting this uses
                            better mixer settings for this card but
                            does horrible noisy things on others.

sscape.o:       Ensonique Soundscape

               Warmboot from DOS having run SSINIT.EXE

               io = card I/O port
               dma = card DMA channel
               irq = card IRQ
               old_hardware - set to 1 if you have interrupt problems

trix.o:         MediaTrix and AudioTrix Pro driver

               Soft boot from DOS

               io = I/O address
               irq = IRQ
               dma = DMA address, 16bit DMA channel

uart401.o:      MPU401 driver library

               io = I/O address
               irq = IRQ

               Normally its loaded without these set as a support module
               for cards with the MPU401 uart present.

uart6850.o:     6850 UART driver library

               io = I/O address
               irq = IRQ

               Normally this is loaded without these set as a support
               module for cards using a 6850.

Mike Wangsmo performed the initial testing of the modules,
       maintains the documentation, and handles the bug reports.

Pekka Pietik had done the work of porting these drivers to the 2.1.x
       kernel series starting with 2.1.48.
