+ Module snd-adlib
+ ----------------
+
+ Module for AdLib FM cards.

+ Note that this card does not have PCM support and no mixer; only FM
+ synthesis.
+
+ Make sure you have "sbiload" from the alsa-tools package available and,
+ after loading the module, find out the assigned ALSA sequencer port
+ number through "sbiload -l". Example output:
+
+ Port Client name Port name
+ 64:0 OPL2 FM synth OPL2 FM Port
+
+ Load the std.sb and drums.sb patches also supplied by sbiload:
+
+ sbiload -p 64:0 std.sb drums.sb
+
+ If you use this driver to drive an OPL3, you can use std.o3 and drums.o3
+ instead. To have the card produce sound, use aplaymidi from alsa-utils:
+
+ aplaymidi -p 64:0 foo.mid

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
(Usually SD_LPLIB register is more accurate than the
position buffer.)
+ NB: If you get many "azx_get_response timeout" messages at
+ loading, it's likely a problem of interrupts (e.g. ACPI irq
+ routing). Try to boot with options like "pci=noacpi". Also, you
+ can try "single_cmd=1" module option. This will switch the
+ communication method between HDA controller and codecs to the
+ single immediate commands instead of CORB/RIRB. Basically, the
+ single command mode is provided only for BIOS, and you won't get
+ unsolicited events, too. But, at least, this works independently
+ from the irq. Remember this is a last resort, and should be
+ avoided as much as possible...

-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).
