disables input-to-output analog monitoring but instead fixes recording.
Tested by Tobias Grosser on ThinkPad T61p.
When I changed kern_conf.c three months ago I made device unit numbers
equal to (unneeded) device minor numbers. We used to require
bitshifting, because there were eight bits in the middle that were
reserved for a device major number. Not very long after I turned
dev2unit(), minor(), unit2minor() and minor2unit() into macro's.
The unit2minor() and minor2unit() macro's were no-ops.
We'd better not remove these four macro's from the kernel, because there
is a lot of (external) code that may still depend on them. For now it's
harmless to remove all invocations of unit2minor() and minor2unit().

Left only parts surely required for basic troubleshooting and configuration
purposes. There is still very long output, but further shrinking makes it
less informative.
Original debugging can be enabled with hw.snd.verbose=4.
Because of using more clear and same time more functional codec parser
new driver is able to handle more codecs, use them better then before and
without most of previous quirks. All of tested codecs itself manage playback,
record, input mixing and monitoring quite fine. In all of investigated
trouble cases problem was found or in nonstandard codec usage or incorrect
codec configuration made by BIOS. Most of that cases could be fixed using
device hints, some of which are already included to the driver.
New driver supports multiple codecs per HDA bus, multiple audio function
groups per codec and multiple logical sound devices per audio function group.
So don't worry when you get several PCM devices instead of one, it is normal.
It is usual situation with powerful codecs to provide, for example, 3 PCM
devices: one for 7.1 playback and main recording, one for headset and one
for digital SPDIF I/O.
New driver implements Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) much better then
previous one. Most information about recommended codec usage now taken from
the codec configuration registers initialized by BIOS. User may alter that
configuration using device hints to reconfigure logical audio devices to
his needs in a very broad range up to the limits of the codec functionality.
New driver supports digital PCM playback and AC3 pass-through. I am not sure
about completeness of this implementation, but I have several success stories
including my own. Vchans subsystem does not support AC3 pass-through so it
had to be disabled for that devices at this moment.
New driver is ready for multichannel playback, but until our OSS is unable
to use this it will just duplicate same stereo stream into all channel
pairs.
New driver supports suspend/resume. I am unable to really test this part
myself, but I have got several success stories.
Driver has very informative verbose boot messages. So if you have any
questions or problems - enable and read them first.

General
-------
- Multichannel safe, endian safe, format safe
* Large part of critical pcm filters such as vchan.c, feeder_rate.c,
feeder_volume.c, feeder_fmt.c and feeder.c has been rewritten so that
using them does not cause the pcm data to be converted to 16bit little
endian.
* Macrosses for accessing pcm data safely are defined within sound.h in
the form of PCM_READ_* / PCM_WRITE_*
* Currently, most of them are probably limited for mono/stereo handling,
but the future addition of true multichannel will be much easier.
- Low latency operation
* Well, this require lot more works to do not just within sound driver,
but we're heading towards right direction. Buffer/block sizing within
channel.c is rewritten to calculate precise allocation for various
combination of sample/data/rate size. As a result, applying correct
SNDCTL_DSP_POLICY value will achive expected latency behaviour simmilar
to what commercial 4front driver do.
* Signal handling fix. ctrl+c of "cat /dev/zero > /dev/dsp" does not
result long delay.
* Eliminate sound truncation if the sound data is too small.

Joel Dahl will do the manpage update.
- Add support for the Conexant Waikiki/CX20551-22, found
in most Toshiba P100 series laptops. Despite of growing
urban legend of "unsupported Conexant", this codec is fully
supported in this driver.
Note: Toshiba P100 has broken (acpi) BIOS, thus rendering
its soundchip useless. Please disable ACPI, or get
BIOS updates (if any).

- Parser cleanups to handle possible oss/mixer collision. Found
after parsing Conexant Waikiki nodes.
- Increase resilient against resource failure during attach/detach.
- Implement simple config through hint.pcm.<unit>.config. Supported
options:
gpio0 (default on Acer), gpio1, gpio2, softpcmvol,
fixedrate (default), forcestereo (default)
* Option prefixed with "no" (such as "nofixedrate") will do
the opposite.
* Options can be separated using space " " or comma ",".
* The "no" option will take precedence over anything else.
Example:
hint.pcm.0.config="gpio2,nofixedrate,noforcestereo,nogpio0,softpcmvol"
hint.pcm.0.config="softpcmvol noforcestereo"
- Fix support for ASUS M5200ae (buggy BIOS)

is interaction between in-kernel sound buffer handling and hardware.
With small buffer, there are times when both harwdare reads and
kernel writes to the same buffer (it is only visible on slow machines, i
think). I'm digging in channel.c and buffer.c to find a solution that
allow use of large hardware buffers without sound lags - hardware can
handle buffers up to 32Mb."

- fix "No sound in KDE":
The problem is related to the implementation of Envy24(1712) hardware
mixer support in the driver. Envy24(1712) has very precise 36bit wide
hardware mixer, which is superior that vchans (software sound mixer in
the kernel). The driver supports Envy24(1712) hardware mixer, so up to
10 channels (5 stereo pairs) can be playback simultaneously.
However, there are problems with the implementation of Envy24(1712)
hardware mixer support in the driver, one of them is the problem with
"no sound in KDE":
When playing back several channels simultaneously and
stoping one of the channels, sound starts to stutter and
plays at very low speed.
Another problem is:
Playing back simultaneously more than one 24bit/32bit
sound file or 16bit sound file and 24bit/32bit sound
file doesn't work as expected.

from a semantic point of view, but I notified the author of the driver
for confirmation. So far it at least fixes the build and should only
lead to not identifying or wrongly identifying a soundcard in the worst
case.
sound cards with optional pseudo-multichannel playback.
It's based on snd_emu10k1 sound driver. Single channel version is available
from audio/emu10kx port since some time.
The two new ALSA header files (GPLed), which contain Audigy 2 ("p16v") and
Audigy 2 Value ("p17v") specific interfaces, are latest versions from ALSA
Mercurial repository.
This is not connected to the build yet.

I got no response from the author, but since the driver is BSD licensed
I don't think he will complain. :-)

but large parts are rewritten by matk and tanimura.
This is old code, it's not maintained since 2003. We also don't have a
maintainer for this! Yuriy Tsibizov took it and uses it in his emu10kx
driver. Since the emu10kx driver will enter the tree "soon" (some bugs
have to be fixed after Yuriy return from his holidays), I add it here
already.
This also contains some changes to emu10k1 and cmi, so if you're lucky,
you can now make some kind of use of midi with those soundcards.
To all those poor souls which don't have such a card: feel free to send
patches, we don't have a maintainer for this.
To those which miss a specific feature in the midi code: feel free to
submit patches, we don't have a maintainer for this.
Oh, did I already told that it would be nice if someone would take care
of it? Maintainer with midi equipment wanted! :-)
If you get LOR's, submit a PR and notify multimedia@ please. If you get
panics, submit a PR with a backtrace (compile the sound system into your
kernel instead of using modules in this case) and notify multimedia@

A slight difference of this chip from its previous siblings is that
it need a gentle "wake up" on every (full) DMA buffer completion to
avoid stalled interrupt handler.

- Fix / reorganize attach routine. Device specific initialization must
be done after generic bus / DMA setup. At last, Virtual Channels

Note: Recent commit / fix against this driver proves that major enhancements
on the generic sound layer does indeed help to expose flaw within
device specific code. There are probably other drivers that need to
be addressed as well.
