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.
(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
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

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.
