Supported sound lives in ${SRC}/sys/dev/sound. Unsupported sound resides under ${SRC}/i386/isa/sound. AFAIK, the main reason this code (and documentation) is still in the tree is it offers a degree of midi support for old h/w whilst the midi effort for the newer sound arch is a work in progress. There is a quick-and-dirty-work-in-progress document that describes sound configuration. It's intended for the handbook and could form the basis for an updated pcm manual page. I'd be interested in receiving comments / questions / contributions on it. The draft currently resides at: http://people.freebsd.org/~orion/sound.txt I have docbook working, but am not a wiz with it, so if anybody with more expertise in this area would be interested in helping/taking over that side, it would greatly speed things up.
