-	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.

-	An OSS/Lite Driver for the ESS Maestro3 family of sound chips
-
-			Zach Brown, January 2001
-
-Driver Status and Availability
-------------------------------
-
-The most recent version of this driver will hopefully always be available at
-	http://www.zabbo.net/maestro3/
-
-I will try and maintain the most recent stable version of the driver
-in both the stable and development kernel lines.
-
-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)
-
-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 as expected.  Playback is
-supported in all the various lovely formats.  8/16bit stereo/mono from
-8khz to 48khz, with both read()/write(), and mmap().
-
-/dev/mixer is an interface to the AC'97 codec on the Maestro3.  It is
-worth noting that there are a variety of AC'97s that can be wired to
-the Maestro3.  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 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
