/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.

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.



There is a freely available software package that allows

MIDI file playback on this soundcard called Timidity.

See http://www.cgs.fi/~tt/timidity/.
