  Better documentation is on the way and I'm ready answer some questions.

Good, 'cause now that I have the time to really get onto the Maestro-2
driver (with AK4540 AC-97 codec, which should be a drop-in, if I'm
understanding all this correctly), I've got *lots* of questions.

For instance, the codec on my machine takes 16-20 bit, 48KHz samples, which
means that it *always* expects that data rate. I guess this means that if
I had 48K, stereo samples in memory, that I could just hand them off to
the codec, and not use the sound chip at all (except as a transfer device)?
