NAME

     snd_atiixp - ATI IXP bridge device driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your
     kernel configuration file:

           device sound
           device snd_atiixp

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
     following line in loader.conf(5):

           snd_atiixp_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The snd_atiixp bridge driver allows the generic audio driver, sound(4),
     to attach to ATI IXP audio devices.  This driver supports 16bit playback
     and recording, and 32bit native playback and recording.

Runtime Configuration

     The following sysctl(8) variables are available in addition to those
     available to all sound(4) devices:

           dev.pcm.%d.polling  Experimental polling mode, where the driver
                               operates by querying the device state on each
                               tick using callout(9).  Polling is disabled by
                               default.  Do not enable it unless you are
                               facing weird interrupt problems or if the
                               device cannot generate interrupts at all.

HARDWARE

     The snd_atiixp driver supports the following audio chipsets:

     o   ATI IXP 200
     o   ATI IXP 300
     o   ATI IXP 400

BUGS

     The snd_atiixp driver does not support S/PDIF, but implementing it should
     be fairly easy if the right hardware is available.

     32bit native recording is broken on some hardware.
