the /dev/rmidiN devices, or with a sequencer interface via /dev/music.
So far the only supported MIDI device is the MPU401 port on SoundBlaster
(and only on SB on isapnp, since we do not have locators with multiple
values yet).
- It is now possible to handle devices that want "looping" DMA,
e.g. the SoundBlaster correctly. The WSS and SB drivers use this.
To do this several new methods were introduced in audio_hw_if.
- Different silence handling (forced by previous change).
- The audio driver can now be mmap()-ed, but due to problems in
the VM system only for writing for now.
- The OSS (Linux) audio emulation takes advantage of some of the
new features.
