-Support for the OPTI 82C931 chip
---------------------------------
-
-The opti 82C931 is supported in it's non PnP mode.
-You do not need to set jumpers etc... The sound driver
-will check the card status and if it is required it will
-force the card into a mode that it can be programmed.
-
-To compile support for the OPTI 82C931 card you can use
-the regular Linux config menus (ie, "make xconfig").
-
-Sound card support should be enabled as a module (chose m).
-Enable (m) for  these items:
-  100% Sound Blaster compatibles (SB16/32/64, ESS, Jazz16) support (CONFIG_SB)
-  Generic OPL2/OPL3 FM synthesizer support                         (CONFIG_ADLIB)
-  Microsoft Sound System support		                   (CONFIG_MSS)
-  Support for OPTi MAD16 and/or Mozart based cards		   (CONFIG_MAD16)
-  FM synthesizer (YM3812/OPL-3) support				   (CONFIG_YM3812)
-
-The configuration menu may ask for addresses, irq lines or dma
-channels. If the card is used as a module the module loading
-options will override these values.
-
-Go on and compile your kernel and modules, install the modules.
-
-I use this configuration as part of /etc/conf.modules:
-
-options sb mad16=1
-options mad16 irq=10 dma=1 io=0x530 joystick=1 cdtype=0
-options opl3 io=0x388
-
-After installing everything and booting to a kernel that
-matches the modules you can load the sound driver:
-
-modprobe mad16
-modprobe opl3
-
-As a result these modules are loaded:
-Module                  Size  Used by
-opl3                   10416   0  (unused)
-mad16                   6472   0 
-sb                     23544   0  [mad16]
-uart401                 5796   0  [mad16 sb]
-ad1848                 16532   1  [mad16]
-sound                  82052   0  [opl3 mad16 sb uart401 ad1848]
-
-Known problems:
-1. The uart401 cannot be used. This is probably a problem which
-   was introduced when the sound driver was modularized.
-   Do not try to load uart401 with options (io=xxx, irq=yyy) because
-   it will try to initialize itself and fail.
-
-2. Cannot use the sound driver in Duplex mode. Until it is fixed
-   use only one DMA channel (0, 1 or 3) for mad16.
-
-3. Configuration of the cdrom adaptor on the sound card is not
-   tested and probably does not work.
-
-4. General problem with the modularized sound driver: If you 
-   load part of the sound driver while a sound program is
-   running, stopping the program may result with a situation
-   where the "Used by" count becomes negative.
