(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
* Move pnp_eisaformat() to pnp.c, declared in <isa/pnpvar.h>.
* Turn the pnpbios code into an enumerator for the isa bus. This allows
all devices known to the bios to be probed automatically.
Currently the pnpbios code is dependant on the PNPBIOS option. As the code
is tested more and when more drivers are converted this will be made the
default. I have PnP changes in the wings for fdc, atkbd, psm, pcaudio, and
joy. Sio already works with pnpbios.
