21.Sh NAME
22.Nm mavb
23.Nd Moosehead A/V Board audio device
24.Sh SYNOPSIS
25.Cd "mavb0 at mace0 offset 0x300000 intr 6"
26.Cd "audio* at audiobus?"
27.Sh DESCRIPTION
28The
29.Nm
30driver provides support for the Moosehead A/V Board found on SGI
31.Tn O2
32machines.
33.Pp
34The Moosehead A/V Board uses an AD1843 codec that supports 8- and
3516-bit audio sample recording and playback at rates from 5 to 54 kHz,
36with 1 Hz resolution.
37The
38.Nm
39driver also makes it possible to control the playback volume by using
40the buttons on the front of the
41.Tn O2 .
42.Sh SEE ALSO
43.Xr audio 4 ,
44.Xr sgimips/intro 4 ,
45.Xr sgimips/mace 4
46.Sh HISTORY
47The
48.Nm
49driver first appeared in
50.Ox 3.7 .
51It was later ported to
52.Nx 5.0 .
53.Sh AUTHORS
54The
55.Nm
56driver was written by Mark Kettenis, and ported to
57.Nx
58by Jared D. McNeill.
59.Sh CAVEATS
60The analog mixer in the AD1843 codec does not provide a master volume
61control.
62Therefore, the
63.Tn O2
64volume buttons only control the output volume of the DAC.
65.Sh BUGS
66Currently only sample rates up to 48 kHz are supported.
67Recording is not implemented yet.
68The second DAC on the AD1843 codec sits idle.
