Don't encourage feeding /dev/audio > directly as this doesn't work as expected. > ok tj@ (ratchov@) ~ faq13.html > Remove entries about what's sndiod and whether it's needed, as the man > page is easily reachable and now it's enabled by default. > ok tj@ (ratchov@) ~ faq13.html > Don't mention sound may be distorted because the device doesn't > support certain encodings as this is fixed since years. Remove advices > about manually setting ports/irq/drq of isa cards. > ok tj@ (ratchov@) ~ faq13.html > Update audioctl output to what it outputs nowadays. > ok tj@ (ratchov@) ~ faq13.html > Remove unused <p> last commits left. > from tj@, thanks (ratchov@) ~ pf/carp.html > fix sentence fragment; from victor slinv (tj@) ~ faq9.html ~ index.html > remove linux emulation stuff.
