tanimura> I am planning to rename the sound drivers as follows:

tanimura> The generic sound driver, including pcm and midi (to come).

tanimura> This scheme eliminates unwanted device-dependent drivers (about 260KB
tanimura> in my case) from your kernel.
tanimura> In addition, the module `snd_pcm' will be renamed to `sound', in order

Module users may want to do s/snd_pcm_load/sound_load/ against your
loader.conf.
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.
tanimura> The patch has now been committed. If you have `pcm' in your kernel
tanimura> configuration, move to the new scheme. Consult NOTES for the detail
tanimura> of the device-dependent drivers.
tanimura> Example: (for my ThinkPad A30 w/ Intel ICH)
tanimura> device sound # generic driver, mandatory
tanimura> device snd_ich # for Intel ICH
