tanimura> This scheme eliminates unwanted device-dependent drivers (about 260KB

tanimura> In addition, the module `snd_pcm' will be renamed to `sound', in order

tanimura> The patch is at:

tanimura> 	http://people.FreeBSD.org/~tanimura/patches/splitpcm-10jul2004.diff

tanimura> If there are no objection, I will commit on the evening of the next
tanimura> Wednesday.

The patch has now been committed.  If you have `pcm' in your kernel
configuration, move to the new scheme.  Consult NOTES for the detail
of the device-dependent drivers.


Example: (for my ThinkPad A30 w/ Intel ICH)

device	sound	# generic driver, mandatory
device	snd_ich	# for Intel ICH
