- 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.
renamed AUDIO_ENCODING_SLINEAR and AUDIO_ENCODING_LINEAR reverts to the
NetBSD 1.2 sematics. A kernel with COMPAT_12 defined will accept
AUDIO_ENCODING_LINEAR and treat it as before, without COMPAT_12 it
will be rejected.
