Re: Drivers for sound cards

[Chris Cappuccio <chris@dqc.org>]

The driver which supports PCI soundblaster cards is eap
it's at /usr/src/sys/dev/pci/eap.c

Right now the supported cards appear to to be the Ensoniq
AudioPCI/AudioPCI97/CT5880 and the Creative Labs Ectiva 1938

Unfortunately, the Ectiva is not the same as the SB Live.  I am not sure how
similar it is.
