Good morning audible primates.

v0.10 of the OSS maestro driver is on http://people.redhat.com/zab/maestro

it finally fixes the memory scribbling, I hope.  It also has some minor
fixes that made it work on some laptops.  Please do give this one a spin,
it should be stable.

the next hurdle is to fix up the proper LRLR support so that mmap() (read:
quake) works :)

Quake?  Really?

Oh man, I'm running a box with dual p-iii550/256Mb ram here, with a
banshee card in it (soon to be replaced by a 3500 voodoo3), and a
PCI128 (es1371) sound card.

The quake3 demo runs like total crap on this box, only to discover
that the current demo version doesn't like PCI-based sound cards.
Major bummer :-(

(I've seen the q3 demo scream on a p450 with a 32Mb TNT, but those
boxes had an onboard crystal sound chip.  Very impressive).

Does this mean that a fix is on the way so that I'll finally be able
to have some fun running q3 on this box with the pci sound card?

Cheers
Tony

thats the idea :)

as far as I can tell the es1371 driver provides mmap().. if the only thing
its trying to do is mmap(), it should work.  not that I've tried or
anything :)

hopefully we'll have a trident driver soon..
