Driver for Sound Blaster 16 and compatible sound cards.
Direct invocation (also causes a new io-audio process to start):
io-audio -dsb ioport=port,irq=req,dma=ch,dma1=ch &
Mounting (requires that io-audio already be running):
mount -Tio-audio -oioport=port,irq=req,dma=ch,dma1=ch \ /lib/dll/deva-ctrl-sb.so &
QNX Neutrino
x86 only (requires ISA bus)
For card options that apply to all sound drivers, see the entry for io-audio.
The deva-ctrl-sb.so shared object is a DLL for the io-audio manager. It uses the API described in the Audio Developer's Guide.
While deva-ctrl-sb.so is running, you can use applications with sound, and those that control the sound-system.
When an error occurs, deva-ctrl-sb.so sends a description of the error to the system logger (see slogger).
Some sound cards listed as being Sound Blaster compatible default to another mode (e.g., some ESS 18xx series (not ESS 1869), OPTi 931, Yamaha OPL3-SA). These cards will not work with this driver.
