4. Technical Description
Title: audioemu10k audio driver
Requested Binding: Minor
This project proposes to deliver a device driver for the
Creative EMU10K based audio devices. These are very common devices,
found in various Sound Blaster Live! and Audigy, Audigy 2 and
Audigy Value discrete audio boards.
Devices are identifiable as pci1102,2, pci1102,4, and pci1102,8.
The driver would be called "audioemu10k", and would be delivered in a package
audioemu10k. It would use the Consolidation Private Boomer (PSARC 2008/318)
interfaces.
The package name audioemu10k would "Committed", and the "audioemu10k" driver
would be "Uncommitted", as would any specific features delivered by
the audioemu10k driver.
We are not planning on providing FMA support for this driver (we don't
believe it is strategic, and no other audio drivers have FMA support
currently).
The driver will support suspend/resume, and quiesce(9e).
We will be supporting various surround sound capabilities of the device,
and possibly SPDIF. The device has a complete DSP (digital signal processor)
onboard, but we will not be supporting any of its capabilities at
first integration.
The driver was contributed by 4Front under an agreement with Sun Microsystems.
