Made another update:
http://loafier.sixbit.org/template.c

- removed wierd garbage characters around the initcd function
- made names of read and write macros consistent w/ other functions
- fixed invocation of snd_mtxcreate() to include name string

I also copied in some code from the atiixp drivers's suspend/resume
functions for handling the play and record channels, and noticed the use
of pci_set_powerstate().
