Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!

+		Sound Blaster Live mixer / default DSP code
+		===========================================
+
+
+The EMU10K1 chips have a DSP part which can be programmed to support
+various ways of sample processing, which is described here.
+(This acticle does not deal with the overall functionality of the 
+EMU10K1 chips. See the manuals section for further details.)
+
+The ALSA driver programs this portion of chip by default code
+(can be altered later) which offers the following functionality:
+
+
+1) IEC958 (S/PDIF) raw PCM
+--------------------------
+
+This PCM device (it's the 4th PCM device (index 3!) and first subdevice
+(index 0) for a given card) allows to forward 48kHz, stereo, 16-bit
+little endian streams without any modifications to the digital output
+(coaxial or optical). The universal interface allows the creation of up
+to 8 raw PCM devices operating at 48kHz, 16-bit little endian. It would
+be easy to add support for multichannel devices to the current code,
+but the conversion routines exist only for stereo (2-channel streams)
+at the time. 
+
+Look to tram_poke routines in lowlevel/emu10k1/emufx.c for more details.
+
+
+2) Digital mixer controls
+-------------------------
+
+These controls are built using the DSP instructions. They offer extended
+functionality. Only the default build-in code in the ALSA driver is described
+here. Note that the controls work as attenuators: the maximum value is the 
+neutral position leaving the signal unchanged. Note that if the  same destination 
+is mentioned in multiple controls, the signal is accumulated and can be wrapped 
+(set to maximal or minimal value without checking of overflow).
+
+
+Explanation of used abbreviations:
+
+DAC    - digital to analog converter
+ADC    - analog to digital converter
+I2S    - one-way three wire serial bus for digital sound by Philips Semiconductors
+         (this standard is used for connecting standalone DAC and ADC converters)
+LFE    - low frequency effects (subwoofer signal)
+AC97   - a chip containing an analog mixer, DAC and ADC converters
+IEC958 - S/PDIF
+FX-bus - the EMU10K1 chip has an effect bus containing 16 accumulators.
+         Each of the synthesizer voices can feed its output to these accumulators
+         and the DSP microcontroller can operate with the resulting sum.
+
+

+
+3) PCM stream related controls
+------------------------------
+
+name='EMU10K1 PCM Volume',index 0-31
+
+Channel volume attenuation in range 0-0xffff. The maximum value (no
+attenuation) is default. The channel mapping for three values is
+as follows:
+
+	0 - mono, default 0xffff (no attenuation)
+	1 - left, default 0xffff (no attenuation)
+	2 - right, default 0xffff (no attenuation)
+
+name='EMU10K1 PCM Send Routing',index 0-31
+
+This control specifies the destination - FX-bus accumulators. There are
+twelve values with this mapping:
+
+	 0 -  mono, A destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 0
+	 1 -  mono, B destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 1
+	 2 -  mono, C destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 2
+	 3 -  mono, D destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 3
+	 4 -  left, A destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 0
+	 5 -  left, B destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 1
+	 6 -  left, C destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 2
+	 7 -  left, D destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 3

+	10 - right, C destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 2
+	11 - right, D destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 3
+
+Don't forget that it's illegal to assign a channel to the same FX-bus accumulator 
+more than once (it means 0=0 && 1=0 is an invalid combination).
+ 
+name='EMU10K1 PCM Send Volume',index 0-31
+
+It specifies the attenuation (amount) for given destination in range 0-255.
+The channel mapping is following:
+
+	 0 -  mono, A destination attn, default 255 (no attenuation)
+	 1 -  mono, B destination attn, default 255 (no attenuation)
+	 2 -  mono, C destination attn, default 0 (mute)
+	 3 -  mono, D destination attn, default 0 (mute)
+	 4 -  left, A destination attn, default 255 (no attenuation)
+	 5 -  left, B destination attn, default 0 (mute)
+	 6 -  left, C destination attn, default 0 (mute)
+	 7 -  left, D destination attn, default 0 (mute)
+	 8 - right, A destination attn, default 0 (mute)
+	 9 - right, B destination attn, default 255 (no attenuation)
+	10 - right, C destination attn, default 0 (mute)
+	11 - right, D destination attn, default 0 (mute)
