This might be as bad as you think, I'm currently working on cmi8x38 and it only took a day to get basic playback working (YMMV depending on card, specs, and other implementations). Some refs that may help A sound driver template code - http://www.freebsd.org/~cg/template.c Code for existing newpcm drivers and info on bus resources contained in: http://www.daemonnews.org/200008/isa.html For CS4281 there are publicly available specs and implementations for ALSA, Linux, and Netbsd to help learn for experiences from others, e.g. http://trap.fukui-med.ac.jp/NetBSD/TERA.patches.html http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.2/patch/patch-2.2.17/linux_drivers_sound_cs4281.c.html > Second: www.opensound.com sells drivers - I just got this working on > my cheapass toshiba. Existing audio apps use it just fine. > Third: Bitching is still free and easy, but it doesn't get your card > working (what you think I didn't already try that? =) Fourth recommendation: offer to donate a card / motherboard for someone else to write driver, announce publicly and very loud. cheers - Orion.
