31.Dt EAP 4
32.Os
33.Sh NAME
34.Nm eap
35.Nd AudioPCI audio device driver
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.Cd "eap*   at pci? dev ? function ?"
38.Cd "audio* at audiobus?"
39.Cd "joy*   at eap?"
40.Cd "midi*  at eap?"
41.Cd "options EAP_USE_BOTH_DACS"
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Nm
45driver provides support for the Ensoniq AudioPCI and Creative Labs
46SoundBlaster PCI series of audio cards.
47All models based on the ES1370, ES1371, and ES1373 chips are supported.
48.Pp
49By specifying:
50.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
51options EAP_USE_BOTH_DACS
52.Ed
53.Pp
54a second audio device is attached.
55You can use it simply by directing audio output to it.
56This way it is possible for two different programs to use the "same"
57audio device simultaneously.

64.Sh HISTORY
65The
66.Nm
67device driver appeared in
68.Nx 1.4 .
69.Sh CAVEATS
70The joystick port hardware works by emulating a legacy
71.Xr isa 4
72joystick port, bypassing the
73.Xr pci 4
74bus method for address allocation.
75This is unlikely to work on PCI busses other than the primary one.
76There is also a possibility for conflicts with real ISA devices
77because the PCI bus is probed before ISA.
78Use with caution.
