-Sound Driver Configuration Notes
-Michael Chastain, <mailto:mec@shout.net>
-18 Apr 1998
-
-The Linux sound driver is derived from OSS/Free, a multi-platform
-Unix sound driver by Hannu Savolainen.  You can find out
-more about OSS/Free and the commercial version, OSS/Linux, at
-<http://www.opensound.com/ossfree>.
-
-OSS/Free comes with the configuration program 'configure.c'.  We have
-discarded that program in favor of a standard Linux configuration file
-Config.in.
-
-Config.in defines a set of symbols with the form CONFIG_SOUND_*.
-These are the -native symbols-.  Here is a description:
-
-    CONFIG_SOUND
-
-	This is the master symbol.  It controls whether the basic
-	sound-driver code is resident, modular, or not present at all.
-
-	If the basic driver is resident, each primary and secondary
-	driver can be resident, modular, or not present.
-
-	If the basic driver is modular, each primary and secondary driver
-	can be modular or not present.
-
-	And if the basic driver is not present, all other drivers are
-	not present, too.
-
-    Primary drivers
-
-	These are symbols such as CONFIG_SOUND_SB, CONFIG_SOUND_SB_MODULE,
-	CONFIG_SOUND_TRIX, or CONFIG_SOUND_TRIX_MODULE.  Each driver
-	that the user can directly select is a primary driver and has
-	the usual pair of symbols: one resident and one modular.
-
-	Each primary driver can be either resident or modular.
-
-    Secondary drivers
-
-	Primary drivers require the support of secondary drivers, such
-	as ad1848.o and uart401.o.
-
-	In Makefile, each primary driver has a list of required secondary
-	drivers.  The secondary driver requirements are merged and a
-	single definition is emitted at the end.
-
-	For each secondary driver: if any resident primary driver
-	requires it, that secondary driver will be resident.  If no
-	resident primary driver requires it but some modular primary
-	driver requires it, then that secondary driver will be modular.
-	Otherwise that secondary driver will be not present.
-
-	OSS/Free also contains tests for secondary drivers.  The Makefile
-	defines symbols for these drivers in EXTRA_CFLAGS.
-
-    CONFIG_AUDIO, CONFIG_MIDI, CONFIG_SEQUENCER
-
-	These three drivers are like secondary drivers, but not quite.
-	They can not yet be separated into modules.  They are always
-	linked into the basic sound driver, whether they are needed
-	or not.  (This is in case a primary driver is added to the
-	system later, as a module, and needs these facilities.	If it
-	were possible to modularise them, then they would get built as
-	additional modules at that time).
-
-The OSS/Free code does not use the native symbols directly, primarily
-because it does not know about modules.  I could edit the code, but that
-would make it harder to upgrade to new versions of OSS/Free.  Instead,
-the OSS/Free code continues to use -legacy symbols-.
-
-legacy.h defines all the legacy symbols to 1.  This is because, whenever
-OSS/Free tests a symbol, the Makefile has already arranged for that
-driver to be included.
