[openbeos] Re: Writing an Audio Driver

Hi Matt,

AC97 devices usually are managed by a motherboard chipset. We have now Intel 
based (possibly nForce and SiS as well) and Via based audio southbridge devices 
handled in CVS. If yours doesn't work, support should be added in one of these 
existing drivers (auvia, ich).

You should identify your audio device by its PCI vendor id/device id (in the 
Devices preference panel). You should then know which driver can handle your 
device, and verify it is well handled.

Hope it helps,
Jérôme
