DESCRIPTION
The
eap driver provides support for the Ensoniq AudioPCI and
Creative Labs SoundBlaster PCI series of audio cards. All models based on the
ES1370, ES1371, and ES1373 chips are supported.
By specifying:
options EAP_USE_BOTH_DACS
a second audio device is attached. You can use it simply by directing audio
output to it. This way it is possible for two different programs to use the
"same" audio device simultaneously.

HISTORY
The
eap device driver appeared in
NetBSD
1.4.
CAVEATS
The joystick port hardware works by emulating a legacy
isa(4) joystick port, bypassing the
pci(4) bus method for address
allocation. This is unlikely to work on PCI busses other than the primary one.
There is also a possibility for conflicts with real ISA devices because the
PCI bus is probed before ISA. Use with caution.
