Hello all,

I am the not-quite-proud owner of a Dell system that comes with an  
aureal sound card inside of it. In any event, I found the aureal-kmod  
kernel module and have gotten it to work on my machine (following  
directions on http://www.matey.org/au88x0/). In the process of doing  
this I have found that in the directory

/usr/src/sys/dev/sound/pci

there are the files

au88x0.[ch]
aureal.[ch]

When I tried getting sound to work prior to aureal-kmod, it did not  
figure out about my card. What is the purpose of these files and does  
6.0-STABLE have native support for these class of cards? Thank you  
all for your information.

-Anthony
