It sounds to me like | some sort of standardization | for soundcard innards, but I can't find any information about the scope | of the standard. Particularly, | my K7M motherboard has a VIA 82C686 AC97 codec on it. 'device pcm' | doesn't pick it up, so there's clearly | more to it. | | What is AC97 and what does it want with us? :-) Hi Nick, The information you are looking for can be downloaded from http://opensource.creative.com/docs.html Cheers! -- Dan Moschuk (TFreak!dan@freebsd.org) "Waste not fresh tears on old griefs."
