	===~~General driver status~~===		===E-MU Digital Audio System Cards===
	Last updated: 11-11-~~2006~~		Last updated: 2024-01-08 for Linux kernel v6.6

	~~To test support for the E-Mu cards~~, ~~one also need the alsa-firmware package.~~		The whole range of PCI, PCIe, and CardBus cards is fundamentally supported.
			The USB cards are not subject to this driver.
	~~Small update for those interested. I am the developer currently working on writing a Linux ALSA driver for the:~~

	* EMU 1212m (both old and new versions should work)
	* EMU 1820m (both old and ~~new versions should work)~~
	* 1616M PCI
	* 02 CardBus ~~Card~~
	* 0404 PCI

	~~Other EMU hardware samples (sound~~ cards~~) have arrived, so one might expect support in the future for:~~
	* 0404 USB 2.0
	* 0202 USB ~~2.0~~

	~~The first version of the driver for 1212m and 1820m is now out there in kernel 2.6.19 or alsa-driver 1.0.14.~~
	~~If one is adventurous, one can check out the HG repository and have improved features and support for the other PCI~~ cards.
	~~These features will be out in kernel 2.6.23 or alsa-driver 1.0.15~~

	~~Not all features~~ are ~~supported yet, but I would welcome some people testing the features it currently has.~~
	~~Please note,~~ this driver ~~has been written in my free time, with no financial support from E-MU except donation of the sound cards and a useful datasheet. I welcome constructive feedback~~.

	What should work:		What should work:
	# 44.1kHz and 48kHz are ~~currently~~ supported.		# 44.1kHz and 48kHz word clocks are supported (switchable using the mixer). The default devices (hw:x,0) support hardware resampling, so (almost) arbitrary sample rates can be chosen, with some quality degradation.

			# ADAT/SPDIF switching on the TOSLINK (optical) ports (unavailable on 0404 cards)

			What is not supported (by upstream kernels):
			# High sample rates (non-1x word clock multipliers).
			# The "sync" LED is not to be trusted.
			# Almost anything else not mentioned above. :-)

			====Downstream Patch====

	~~What~~ is ~~not yet supported~~:		A large patchset with extended features is available [https://github.com/ossilator/linux/tree/ossis-emu10k1 on GitHub]. Differences to upstream:
	~~# Any rate apart from 44~~.~~1 and 48kHz~~. ~~(I know how~~ to ~~do it, I just need time to implement~~ support for it. ~~Fairly big task~~.)		# full support for native 88.2/96/176.4/192 kHz sample rates
	# ~~A patchmix type application.~~ (~~I really need help here~~)		# 16-channel 24bit (S32_LE) in-phase playback suitable for use with jackd/ardour.
	~~# sync card. (need people to test this~~ for ~~me)~~		# not everything is tested due to lack of hardware; a call for testing was posted [https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxaudio/comments/11i7qf6/call_for_beta_testing_emu10k1_driver_improvements/ on Reddit].
	~~# loading large soundfonts on an 64 Bit OS and computer~~ with ~~more than 4 GB installed RAM~~. ~~See the section "Audigy 2" for a workaround~~
	# ~~Anything else~~ not ~~mentioned above~~. ~~:-)~~

			Details can be found in [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ossilator/linux/ossis-emu10k1/Documentation/sound/cards/emu-mixer.rst the documentation].

	~~Cheers~~		The patch is based on Linux v6.6. You can/should merge the latest (stable) kernel tree that works (v6.6.10 and v6.7-rc0+ are tested) and follow whatever build instructions are appropriate for your distribution.

	~~James~~		Upstream refuses to merge the patch, because they deem features that might crash poorly programmed mixer applications unacceptable, even as an opt-in. Go figure.

It works for me and it should be distribution-independent (with exception to Debian, where you change /etc/modutils/alsa and run update-modules afterwards, Debian users will know anyway).

			=== Audigy 2 ===

			The soundcard has a hardware bug (the address bus is only 31 Bit wide, instead of 32 Bit) that makes it impossible to load and address large soundfont2 files on an 64 Bit Kernel and more than 4 GB RAM above the 2 GB Address memory space.
			But a workaround does exist:

			First, one needs to identify one's sound card.
			Open a terminal windows and type:
			cat /proc/asound/cards

			This has been tested with the following cards:
			0 [Audigy2 ]: Audigy2 - SB Audigy 2 Platinum [SB0240P]
			SB Audigy 2 Platinum [SB0240P] (rev.4, serial:0x10021102)

			Then reboot the OS and press "e" when grub is loading.
			In grub's edit menu search for the word "splash" and then add after this word the following option "memmap=2048M\\$6144M" without double quotes.
			Then continue booting the kernel.
			This kernel option will limit your Hardware RAM for this session your OS can use to about 2-4 GB which leads to a solution for the Audigy 2 which now will be able load large soundfont files
			in the limited 2 GB address space of your RAM.

			An alternative to this solution would be using an 32 Bit Kernel, instead of an 64 Bit Kernel.
