NAME

eapAudioPCI audio device driver

SYNOPSIS

eap* at pci? dev ? function ?
audio* at audiobus?
joy* at eap?
midi* at eap?
options EAP_USE_BOTH_DACS

DESCRIPTION

The eap driver provides support for the Ensoniq AudioPCI and Creative Labs SoundBlaster PCI series of audio cards. All models based on the ES1370, ES1371, and ES1373 chips are supported.

By specifying:

options EAP_USE_BOTH_DACS

a second audio device is attached. You can use it simply by directing audio output to it. This way it is possible for two different programs to use the "same" audio device simultaneously.

HISTORY

The eap device driver appeared in NetBSD 1.4.

CAVEATS

The joystick port hardware works by emulating a legacy isa(4) joystick port, bypassing the pci(4) bus method for address allocation. This is unlikely to work on PCI busses other than the primary one. There is also a possibility for conflicts with real ISA devices because the PCI bus is probed before ISA. Use with caution.
