    Exactly -- besides saying `RTFM in this manpage, section, here' is
much more satisfying than having to rehash the same answer quite a few
times.
    Btw, maybe the manpage for snd_hda should be split up into
multiple manpages or put into a special chapter in the handbook? It is
fairly long (but don't get me wrong -- the data is EXCELLENT!), but
getting to point may help your readers stay on track ;).
Just a thought ><.
