this introduces a new buffering mechanism which results in dramatic
simplification of the channel manager.
as several structures have changed, we take the opportunity to move their
definitions into the source files where they are used, make them private and
de-typedef them.
the sound drivers are updated to use snd_setup_intr instead of
bus_setup_intr, and to comply with the de-typedefed structures.
the ac97, mixer and channel layers have been updated with finegrained
locking, as have some drivers- not all though. the rest will follow soon.
this gives us several benefits, including:
* easier extensibility- new optional methods can be added to
ac97/mixer/channel classes without having to fixup every driver.
* forward compatibility for drivers, provided no new mandatory methods are
added.
add support for non-pnp cards to sbc
move card identification to sbc
channel-swapping code is in sb now instead of dsp
vibra16x support is still broken, but will be fixed soon
note: sbc is now compulsory for sb cards
for pnp cards use:
device sbc0
for non-pnp cards eg:
device sbc0 at isa? port 0x240 irq 5 drq 3 flags 0x15
(hints as oldpcm)
both in addition to:
device pcm0

Without this, ioctl commands for setting formats and speeds were
essentially ignored for simplex devices until the application actually
performed a read or write.
* Make sure that both channels are set in the SB mixer code and provide a
mixer table specifically for the ess18xx which supports the extended
accuracy available on this part.
* Fix a stupid bug in ess_format() which ignored the passed-in format and
changed the hardware based on the value which was set last time. This
meant that the hardware setting was often not set correctly at all.
* Add a custom identify driver for the ESS1888 which automagically detects
and adds the device in a pseudo-PnP way. This driver also emits the magic
sequence which enables the sound hardware after a hard reset, allowing
it to work correctly for the sound hardware of a PWS 433au (and probably
all other PWS class alpha machines).
With these changes, I was able to play back simple sounds on my 433au. I
have not tested recording or any other formats other than 8bit ulaw and
16bit stereo.
add support for Vibra16X, OPTi925, and bring in several assorted
fixes to the code and documentation.
Also present here are apm hooks so that laptops can properly
reconfigure the hardware after suspend (tested on the Libretto50).

changes:
o rip the old select from his distribution to prevent extra pollution
o the code now uses audio dma, helps reduce clicks
o improved card support, should work in full duplex on sb16 cards
o add better voxware ioctl support pointed out by Joao Carlos Mendes
Luis <jonny@coppe.ufrj.br>
o remove an unused file that I included for more complete history
o and MANY other changes
I have personally tested this code with a CS4237 based card and an AWE32
(non-PnP). Both cards worked fine in 8bit and 16bit mode.
