I fix a few bugs on this driver to prevent it from crashing the system
when someone tries to access both /dev/audio0 and /dev/audio1 or
/dev/dsp0 and /dev/dsp1.

Also a simple dma bug which caused bits of a previously played sound
to be played again at the end of the new sound stream.

I will release the gus pnp driver for 2.1 in a couple of days after
I get some feedback from the people who are running 2.2 8)

Caveat:
The mic input level can be controlled by using the "Gain" slider in
vmix-0.3

Hopefully, next week  I will release a new version of the sound driver
which will include combined support for 2.2 and for the rest of the
other cards. In other words, I will increase the rev level for the
normal distributed snd driver found in my ftp site and will include
the support the GUS PnP.


	Come and get it !

This is an BETA release for the GUS PnP Pro. If you own any other
soundcard or are not running FreeBSD 2.2  don't bother using
this sound driver. If you are running FreeBSD 2.1xx this driver will
not compile for you

The difference between a GUS PnP and a GUS PnP PRO is that the Pro
comes with 512kb. I went out an got a 1mb 60ns 30pin simm and installed
it on my GUS PnP. I own a GUS PnP and a GUS PnP PRO.


To unpack:
cd /
mv /sys/i386/isa/sound /sys/i386/isa/sound.old
mv sound sound.old
tar -xzf guspnp3-current.tar.gz 

**DO NOT RUN the configure program in /sys/i386/isa/sound**

cd /sys/i386/conf
Edit the kernel config file in /sys/i386/conf

To configure your guspnp PRO if you have a motherboard which supports
PnP:

	controller snd0
	device gus0 at isa?  vector gusintr

To configure your guspnp PRO if your motherboard does NOT support
PnP:

device gus0 at isa? port  0x220 irq 11 drq 1 flags 0x3 vector gusintr


the gus pnp is fully software configurable and the above configuration
is setup for full duplex audio. The dma channel settings are:

drq 1   	--- DMA channel for playback

flags 0x3	--- DMAN channel for recording





config <kernel-file>
cd /sys/compile/<kernel-file>
make 
make install

THERE IS NO NEED TO BOOT TO DOS TO CONFIGURE YOUR GUS PNP. 
THE DRIVER HAS BUILTIN SUPPORT FOR PNP WHICH I GOT
FROM THE  GRAVIS DRIVER DEVELOPMENT KIT

Many thanks to  Brian Litzinger <brian@MediaCity.com> for
porting the sound driver 3.5 to 2.2-current.

	Have fun,
	Amancio
