+
+ The model name "genric" is treated as a special case. When this
+ model is given, the driver uses the generic codec parser without
+ "codec-patch". It's sometimes good for testing and debugging.
If the default configuration doesn't work and one of the above
matches with your device, report it together with the PCI
subsystem ID (output of "lspci -nv") to ALSA BTS or alsa-devel
ML (see the section "Links and Addresses").
+ power_save and power_save_controller options are for power-saving
+ mode. See powersave.txt for details.
+
Note 2: If you get click noises on output, try the module option
position_fix=1 or 2. position_fix=1 will use the SD_LPIB
register value without FIFO size correction as the current
from the irq. Remember this is a last resort, and should be
avoided as much as possible...
+ MORE NOTES ON "azx_get_response timeout" PROBLEMS:
+ On some hardwares, you may need to add a proper probe_mask option
+ to avoid the "azx_get_response timeout" problem above, instead.
+ This occurs when the access to non-existing or non-working codec slot
+ (likely a modem one) causes a stall of the communication via HD-audio
+ bus. You can see which codec slots are probed by enabling
+ CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_DETECT, or simply from the file name of the codec
+ proc files. Then limit the slots to probe by probe_mask option.
+ For example, probe_mask=1 means to probe only the first slot, and
+ probe_mask=4 means only the third slot.
+

+ The below are options for wavefront_synth features:
+ wf_raw - Assume that we need to boot the OS (default:no)
+ If yes, then during driver loading, the state of the board is
+ ignored, and we reset the board and load the firmware anyway.
+ fx_raw - Assume that the FX process needs help (default:yes)
+ If false, we'll leave the FX processor in whatever state it is
+ when the driver is loaded. The default is to download the
+ microprogram and associated coefficients to set it up for
+ "default" operation, whatever that means.
+ debug_default - Debug parameters for card initialization
+ wait_usecs - How long to wait without sleeping, usecs
+ (default:150)
+ This magic number seems to give pretty optimal throughput
+ based on my limited experimentation.
+ If you want to play around with it and find a better value, be
+ my guest. Remember, the idea is to get a number that causes us
+ to just busy wait for as many WaveFront commands as possible,
+ without coming up with a number so large that we hog the whole
+ CPU.
+ Specifically, with this number, out of about 134,000 status
+ waits, only about 250 result in a sleep.
+ sleep_interval - How long to sleep when waiting for reply
+ (default: 100)
+ sleep_tries - How many times to try sleeping during a wait
+ (default: 50)
+ ospath - Pathname to processed ICS2115 OS firmware
+ (default:wavefront.os)
+ The path name of the ISC2115 OS firmware. In the recent
+ version, it's handled via firmware loader framework, so it
+ must be installed in the proper path, typically,
+ /lib/firmware.
+ reset_time - How long to wait for a reset to take effect
+ (default:2)
+ ramcheck_time - How many seconds to wait for the RAM test
+ (default:20)
+ osrun_time - How many seconds to wait for the ICS2115 OS
+ (default:10)
This module supports multiple cards and ISA PnP.
+ Note: the firmware file "wavefront.os" was located in the earlier
+ version in /etc. Now it's loaded via firmware loader, and
+ must be in the proper firmware path, such as /lib/firmware.
+ Copy (or symlink) the file appropriately if you get an error
+ regarding firmware downloading after upgrading the kernel.

Module snd-sonicvibes

+ Module snd-usb-caiaq
+ --------------------
+
+ Module for caiaq UB audio interfaces,

+ * Native Instruments Audio 8 DJ
+
+ This module supports multiple devices, autoprobe and hotplugging.

Module snd-usb-usx2y
--------------------
# OSS/Free portion
alias sound-slot-0 snd-interwave
alias sound-slot-1 snd-ens1371
------ /etc/moprobe.conf
+----- /etc/modprobe.conf
In this example, the interwave card is always loaded as the first card
(index 0) and ens1371 as the second (index 1).
+Alternative (and new) way to fixate the slot assignment is to use
+"slots" option of snd module. In the case above, specify like the
+following:
+
+options snd slots=snd-interwave,snd-ens1371
+
+Then, the first slot (#0) is reserved for snd-interwave driver, and
+the second (#1) for snd-ens1371. You can omit index option in each
+driver if slots option is used (although you can still have them at
+the same time as long as they don't conflict).
+
+The slots option is especially useful for avoiding the possible
+hot-plugging and the resultant slot conflict. For example, in the
+case above again, the first two slots are already reserved. If any
+other driver (e.g. snd-usb-audio) is loaded before snd-interwave or
+snd-ens1371, it will be assigned to the third or later slot.

ALSA PCM devices to OSS devices mapping
=======================================
options of snd-pcm-oss module.
-DEVFS support
-=============
-
-The ALSA driver fully supports the devfs extension.
-You should add lines below to your devfsd.conf file:
-
-LOOKUP snd MODLOAD ACTION snd
-REGISTER ^sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660
-REGISTER ^snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660
-
-Warning: These lines assume that you have the audio group in your system.
- Otherwise replace audio word with another group name (root for
- example).
-
-
Proc interfaces (/proc/asound)
