		Advanced Linux Sound Architecture - Driver
		==========================================
			    Installation guide

ALSA driver replaces OSS/Lite driver which is in current Linux kernels.
Please, check if OSS/Lite is compiled in your kernel. Remove it before
you are trying to install this driver.

Before you are trying install this driver, please, read carefuly
documentation for insmod, modprobe and kerneld/kmod. If you don't
understand how these programs work, you can't be success with
installation.

Quick install
=============

1) Run './configure' script.
   If you want turn on debug try './configure --with-debug=full'.
   If you want debug soundcard detection try './configure --with-debug=detect'.
2) Run 'make install'.
3) Run './snddevices' script to create new sound devices in /dev directory.
4) Edit your /etc/conf.modules (look to kerneld/kmod support section).
5) Run 'modprobe snd-card' where card is name of your card.

You can also look to file utils/alsasound. This script is designed for
RedHat distribution, but it should be used with other distributions which
use System V style rc init scripts.

Note: All mixer channels are muted by default. You must use some native
      mixer program to unmute appropriate channels (for example mixer from
      alsa-utils package).

Module parameters
=================

  User can modify/set parameters at load time of module. If modules supports
  more cards and you have more than one card of same type, simply specify more
  values for parameter delimited with commas.
  
  Global parameters
  -----------------

    snd_index	- 1-8 - index for soundcard
                - if not set, first free index is assigned
    snd_id	- user identification for card (up to 15 chars)
		- default expression is 'card<snd_index>' (for example card1)
		- value is used for /proc/sound filesystem
		- this value can be used with application for identification
		  of card if user doesn't want identify card with index number

  Module snd.o
  ------------

    snd_major	- major # for sound driver
		- default is 14 - this value is compatible with OSS/Lite
    snd_cards_limit
		- specifies card limit # (1-8)
		- good for kerneld/kmod support if you don't want search
		  for soundcards which aren't installed in your system

modprobe/kerneld/kmod support
=============================

Bellow example is for Gravis UltraSound PnP soundcard:

----- /etc/conf.modules

alias char-major-14 snd
alias snd-minor-oss-0 snd-interwave
alias snd-minor-oss-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-4 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-5 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-card-0 snd-interwave
options snd snd_major=14 snd_cards_limit=1

-----

Example if you want use more soundcards in one machine (bellow configuration
is for Sound Blaster 16 and Gravis UltraSound Classic):

----- /etc/conf.modules

alias snd-minor-oss-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-4 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-5 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-card-0 snd-sb16
alias snd-card-1 snd-gusclassic
options snd snd_major=14 snd_cards_limit=2

options snd-gusclassic snd_index=2 snd_irq=11 snd_dma1=6 snd_dma2=7

-----

Example if two Gravis UltraSound Classic soundcards are present in system:

----- /etc/conf.modules

alias char-major-14 off
alias snd-minor-oss-0 snd-mixer
alias snd-minor-oss-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-4 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-5 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-card-0 snd-gusclassic
alias snd-card-1 snd-gusclassic
options snd snd_major=14 snd_cards_limit=2
options snd-gusclassic snd_index=1,2 snd_port=0x220,0x260 snd_irq=5,11 snd_dma1=5,6 snd_dma2=7,3
