I have been using PAS16 on 3 different FreeBSD configurations
for over a year with no problems except that warm reboots leaves
the card in a sluggish state. I have not had to resort to initializing
the card via MSDOS!!!!
Tonight I attempted to configure a 2.0R kernel using the same
options that worked fine under 1.1.5.1 (excluding all BUT pas)
and discovered that I can find no combination of config incantations
that produce a /sys/compile/XXX/pas.h file showing NPAS>0.
Did something break in the config program? Where is the referenced
'sound.doc'? Is anyone on this list actually running a soundcard
under 2.0R?
