tanimura> I am planning to rename the sound drivers as follows:
tanimura> - `sound'

tanimura> The generic sound driver, including pcm and midi (to come).

tanimura> - `snd_*'

tanimura> The device-dependent drivers, named after the sound driver modules at
tanimura> this moment.


tanimura> This scheme eliminates unwanted device-dependent drivers (about 260KB
tanimura> in my case) from your kernel.

tanimura> In addition, the module `snd_pcm' will be renamed to `sound', in order
tanimura> to sync with the new naming convention.

Module users may want to do s/snd_pcm_load/sound_load/ against your
loader.conf.


tanimura> The patch is at:

tanimura> http://people.FreeBSD.org/~tanimura/patches/splitpcm-10jul2004.diff

tanimura> If there are no objection, I will commit on the evening of the next
tanimura> Wednesday.

tanimura> The patch has now been committed.  If you have `pcm' in your kernel
tanimura> configuration, move to the new scheme.  Consult NOTES for the detail
tanimura> of the device-dependent drivers.


tanimura> Example: (for my ThinkPad A30 w/ Intel ICH)

tanimura> device	sound	# generic driver, mandatory
tanimura> device	snd_ich	# for Intel ICH
