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.
