+This loads the driver for the soundblaster and assorted clones. Cards that
+are covered by other drivers should not be using with this driver.
+
+The soundblaster module takes the following arguments
+
+io		I/O address of the soundblaster chip
+irq		IRQ of the soundblaster chip
+dma     	8bit DMA channel for the soundblaster
+dma16   	16bit DMA channel for SB16 and equivalent cards
+mpu_io		I/O for MPU chip if present
+
+mad16=1 	Set when loading this as part of the MAD16 setup only
+trix=1  	Set when loading this as part of the Audiotrix setup only
+pas2=1		Set when loading this as part of the Pas2 setup only
+sm_games=1	Set if you have a Logitech soundman games
+acer=1		Set this to detect cards in some ACER notebooks
+mwave_bug=1	Set if you are trying to use this driver with mwave (see on)
+
+You may well want to load the opl3 driver for synth music on most SB and
+clone SB devices
+
+insmod opl3 io=0x388
+
+Using Mwave
+
+To make this driver work with Mwave you must set mwave_bug. You also need
+to warmboot from DOS/Windows with the required firmware loaded under this
+OS. IBM are being difficult about documenting how to load this firmware.

+
+This card isnt currently supported. I have patches to merge however that
+add limited support.
