After reading the source I thought it would be different enough to require new driver.(AC97, DMA, sampling frequency etc.) One of major problems for SBus cs4231 driver was lack of APC DMA doucumentation and no existing SBus pcm driver for reference. So I borrowed the APC DMA code from OpenBSD, and adopted mixer routine from mss with small modifications.(mss driver supports the same chip cs4231.) If mss driver was designed well with BUS DMA in mind it would be possible to take SBus frontend. But I still dout it due to dramatic differences between DMA interface and interrupt handling. In addition, existing driver may need modification which is beyond scope of my ability. > Since this requires stubs into sndbuf_dma.c it might not be totally > appropriate as it is, but I'd like to also review it further over the > next few days and get back to you.
