Hi!

	I released mostly bugfix version of driver and library. It
contains first code for Tom Lees PnP driver, but seems that PnP driver
v0.3 isn't very much tested and contains very hard bugs which can hangup
your computer.
	ID's and names for soundcards/devices should be now more clear.
Please, report me any comments to Control/Mixer/PCM interfaces. I'm
thinking about release 0.1.0 version and I assume that from 0.1.0 version
cannot be changed structures/constants for above interfaces for binary
compatibility. Please, report all serious bugs, too...
	I'll welcome if anyone can write some small document about
installation driver (and maybe library) for novices. I'll try write some
documentation for programmers how can be added new code for other
soundcards.
	Next plan is add support for MIDI UART's and make some discussion
about sequenced synthesizer and sequenced MIDI interfaces.

Driver:
=======

0.0.7 -> 0.0.8

* changes for Tom Lees PnP driver for GUS PnP & SB16
* cleanups in card/device names
* control interface extended by pcm playback/record info
* fixed strange open bug in native PCM for SB & ESS soundcards
* fixed dB ranges & steps for SoundBlaster 16 (CTL1745)

Library:
========

0.0.4 -> 0.0.5

* added snd_cards_mask function
* added info functions for pcm playback/record in control interface
* fixed Makefile bugs for shared library (added -fPIC)
