Earlier than GUS? 8-bit I think Also drives my PAS16s. Yes, it's very old -- non-pnp ISA and all that. Used to be a fairly popular card at the time though (since it sounds better than most other cards of the era) so there's still a couple of those around. I believe I have three lying around somewhere, one of them in fact still installed (in a machine that's currently not available though). Sure, wouldn't be a tragedy to remove, but keeping it neither (writing an ALSA driver for the stupid thing has been on my personal TODO only slightly shorter then all the items preceding it). >> SOUND_PSS >> SOUND_SB > > The original one (8-bit)? Not sure about relation to Kahlua and PAS The relation to PAS16 at least is that the PAS includes a (independent) SB8 compatible chip. The OSS driver supplies two sound devices. At the moment, I'm not recalling with certainty whether or not they were also hardware mixed, but I guess they were...
