appears to be the correct length, but quality of output has not yet
been tested. Also, full duplex audio (that is, playback on channel 1)
does not yet work. Two constants and I am there!
Obtained from: major hints from ALSA
(I had been busy for my own research activity until the last weekend)
Supported devices:
SB Midi Port (sbc + midi)
SB OPL3 (sbc + midi)
16550 UART (midi, needs a trick in your hint)
CS461x Midi Port (csa + midi)
OSS-compatible sequencer (seq)
Supported playing software:
playmidi (We definitely need more)
Notes:
/dev/midistat now reports installed midi drivers. /dev/sndstat reports
only pcm drivers. We need the new name(pcmstat?).
EMU8000(SB AWE) does not sound yet but does get probed so that the OPL3
synth on an AWE card works.
TODO:
MSS/PCI bridge drivers
Midi-tty interface to support general serial devices
Modules
motherboards that use YMF740's. It has a strange subvendor and subdevice
ID and requires a disturbingly long delay after the ac97 codec init.
Cameron hasn't had this driver tested on another 740 yet, so we don't know
if this is a quirk of all 740's, or if its just something about the codec
that Intel used.
conf/files
i don't seem to be clearing the cache right resulting in a short initial
burst of noise, despite doing the same as creative and alsa. i'm committing
now so more eyes can pore over the code.
* add a callback for initialising the mixer interface
* support ac97 2.1 variable rate audio feature
fix ac97-using drivers for the above
add suspend/resume support for neomagic
whilst we are playing or recording. since we should irq ~20 times/sec when
active, this should never trigger. in theory. if it never does trigger,
the check will be removed.
then invoke the children. As the value of HISR can be read
only once, pass the HISR to the children via struct
csa_bridgeinfo, stored in the ivars of them.
- Clear the contents of serial FIFO upon stopping the DMA for
playing. This may eliminate buzz on playing. Experimental.
Also, optimize out a mess of #if's that were duplicating work already
done by config(8). For example, if a file is marked as
"dev/sound/pci/foo.c optional pcm pci" then it's only added if pcm *and*
pci are present, so #if NPCM > 0 and #if NPCI > 0 are totally redundant.
A bit more work is still needed.
Discussed with: cg (a few weeks ago)
device_add_child_ordered(). 'ivars' may now be set using the
device_set_ivars() function.
This makes it easier for us to change how arbitrary data structures are
associated with a device_t. Eventually we won't be modifying device_t
to add additional pointers for ivars, softc data etc.
Despite my best efforts I've probably forgotten something so let me know
if this breaks anything. I've been running with this change for months
and its been quite involved actually isolating all the changes from
the rest of the local changes in my tree.

The 1371 and 1373 can be found on newer CreativeLabs/Ensoniq
sound cards such as the SoundBlaster PCI 16,64 and 128.
