Some information about the SoundScape Elite:
1) The CODEC is an AD-1848.
2) The synthesizer is an Ensoniq OTTO.
3) There are developer kits (including source code) available at
ftp.ensoniq.com:/pub/ssdevlpr.
4) FreeBSD currently includes a driver which is labeled as broken in
the kernel LINT configuration file so I didn't try it.
5) The current OSS/FREE for Linux supports the SoundScape Elite.
6) In theory the SoundScape Elite will emulate a Sound Blaster once
the microcode has been downloaded.
7) It is not PnP.
8) I happen to have one. :-)
Some information about the SoundScape VIVO:
1) It is PnP.
2) I don't have one and don't know much about it. My guess is that
it's similar to the SoundScape Elite except it's PnP and doesn't
have the effect processor.
I was thinking that maybe some type of effort to port the current OSS/FREE
back to FreeBSD was in progress. BTW, where is snd97XXXX.tgz available
from?
