[PATCH] Maestro 2 sound driver update.

From: Daniel Pittman (daniel@rimspace.net)

The attached patch, against 2.4.0-test12, makes some changes to the
Maestro 2 sound driver for Linux.

The main changes are:
* allow multiple opens of /dev/dsp
* support persistent DMA buffer allocation
* default number of channels at compile time
* support kernel command line arguments

The multiple open of /dev/dsp is the most interesting change. Now,
multiple processes can open the device at the same time. Previously the
driver would export one dsp device per channel.

This is an incompatible change so, if you use the patch, be aware of
that.

This needs more testing before being ready to submit for inclusion in
the kernel proper. If you do try it, could you please send me reports
(by private mail) about your success or failure?

Thanks,
        Daniel

you did not know.' 'Then why,' asked the Eskimo earnestly, 'did you tell me?
