| |
(sorry if you see this twice, i was suffering sendmail problems & had to resend).
I recently had to compile a kernel for a friend who has a soundblaster pro. and the sound configure was slightly confusing- it wanted the 16 bit sound DMA, and the soundblaster pro is an 8 bit device. it didn't give me a clue as to what to do (set it to 0, -1, or what?).
after reading the Readme in linux/drivers/sound (why isn't this in linux/Documentation; at least as softlinks?), it appeared i needed to set the 16 bit DMA to the same value as the 8 bit DMA.
so anyway, the following is a tiny patch that should save some people a little confusion:
jeff PS: could we get drivers/sound/Readme updated with Hannu's new mail/http location?
