-Welcome to use the Linux sound driver for FreeBSD. This
-driver supports the SoundBlaster, SB Pro, Pro Audio Spectrum 16,
-AdLib and Gravis UltraSound sound cards.
-
-In addition there is rather limited support for MPU-401
-(and compatible) midi cards. Also, the OPL-3 synthesizer
-of the SB Pro and PAS16 cards is now supported in the 4 OP
-modes.
-
-Most of the features of the /dev/sequencer device file are
-available just for GUS owners.
-
-The SoundBlaster 16 and SB 16 ASP cards are not supported,
-though they may work in mono mode with speeds < 22 kHz.
-The OPL-3 chicp of the SB 16 should work (without problems?).
-Is there anybody willing to implement the SB 16 support
-(have the SB 16 and the SDK for it)?
-
-Since this driver is a sound driver, it does not contain support
-for SCSI/CD-ROM/Joystick -devices.
-
-Known bugs
-----------
-
-- It's not possible to open /dev/dsp (or /dev/audio) while the
- /dev/sequencer is open for output and GUS is the only soundcard
- installed. It's possible if /dev/dsp is opened before /dev/sequencer
- but at this time the GUS is not available for access via /dev/sequencer.
- This is a limitation of the driver.
-- MPU-401 driver hangs the computer on boot if there is no MPU-401 installed.
- It uses by default the I/O port 0x330, which is also used by the
- Adaptec 1542 SCSI adapter.
-- The /dev/sequencer playback to GUS sounds sometimes rather weird. Hitting
- ^C and playing again should solve this problem. This is probably caused by
- incompatibilities between the GUS and certain VLB motherboards. Try to avoid
- switching between VTs while patches are being loaded to the GUS.
-- There is a skeleton of the patch manager support. It doesn't work in
- this version.
