See: http://www.deja.com/=dnc/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=566289345 However, as you've guessed, they probably are under NDA (I seem to recall other postings saying so).

If you do a "dir" in the root directory, you won't see the "PCIAudio" directory; just cd to "/PCIAudio/Maestro2E" directly, and you'll see the files. This information was obtained from "http://www.goodnet.com/~emeb/m2e.html", which is a good starting point for anyone who wants to hack on the Maestro 2E. -- Darryl Okahata darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Agilent Technologies, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.

It is a hack. It is not meant to be used in any other form than as help for some other poor smuck that can't find the non-existent documentation for the bt848 ioctls. If you want to talk more about GPL vs. BSD licenses, drop me mail outside of this list. > And I doubt, that it works, but it is a starting point ;-) > (If you realize, that it does nothing, look into InitHack() in > xmradio's radio.c) Hmmm... It does tune to the station that I spec and plays audio. It works fine. Perhaps the cards I have out there are coming up in a state that more initialization is not needed. This is even from a cold boot as it runs from /etc/rc.local. I can see perhaps setting the audio so it isn't muted and it is set for internal to perhaps guarantee it coming up as sparsely detailed in the suggested radio.c.

The InitHack() function in Toms xmradio was written to work around a bug in the bt848 driver. Eventually I found the bug and it no longer exists. The bug is fixed in driver 1.74 and in all the 2.xx driver versions.

It was relatively simple since the generic ac97 driver works fine and all I had to provide in addition to the probe and attach code were functions to read/write the ac97 registers of the m2e. If the kludges described in the comments of the Linux driver are the only way to get the Maestro2E to actually play audio, I'm not sure whether implementing a complete driver is worth the effort. If anyone is interested in the mixer code, I can check that it still works and make it available.

Ok, you can get it at: http://www.hut.fi/~will/freebsd-essm2-mixer.tar.gz It's *really* simple, but quite useful if all you need is an expensive portable CD-player. ;--) It compiles on a very recent -current (this required a minor fix), but I don't have time to update this laptop, so I've only tested that the driver actually works on a somewhat older -current.

Btw... i'm thinking about getting a new box at home and want put a bt878 card in too (besides a `sym', a `fxp', a pci soundcard (sb128?) and possibly an additional 2-channel pci ide card, oh and of course a video card too (which ones work well with a bt878 at have 3D support under X?)) any recommendations for a board/chipset that would work with that many busmastering devices? (work as in not freeze/crash/panic under load or like in this case when switching vtys...) are there athlon boards that are any good?
