Hi all!

	ALSA driver v0.0.5 was released. This version contains first code
for SoundBlaster DSP chips. I tested code with SB AWE 64 & SB AWE 32 and
looks that works good. For SB 16/AWE soundcards driver does full duplex
emulation (conversion to different sample width). Code for 8-bit SB cards
isn't tested very much (I only tried SB Pro code with GUS Extreme - ESS
AudioDrive ES1688 chip).
	Thank you very much to Thomas Sailer which post here his code.
Most of things how can be programmed SB DSP chips is from his code.
	Anyone read my plan file? Unfortunately I don't have any response
from possible other coders yet.
	Now is time to create some type of manager program which will
manage /etc/conf.modules file for kerneld. Looks like some sort of
managing of /etc/isapnp.conf configuration file for isapnp tool is needed
for PnP soundcards. The program should be interactive, but in text mode to
allow configuring sound from console. Anyone is interrested? I should try
create this weekend some prototype of ALSA C library. Coders for both ALSA
C/ALSA C++ libraries are wanted.

	I renamed all network resources associated to this project to
alsa. New resources:

		http://alsa.jcu.cz
		ftp://alsa.jcu.cz

		alsa-devel@alsa.jcu.cz
		alsa-user@alsa.jcu.cz

	Address ultra.jcu.cz still exist, but it will be probably deleted
soon...
