27.Dt MAESTRO 4
28.Os
29.Sh NAME
30.Nm maestro
31.Nd ESS Maestro 1 and 2 sound hardware driver
32.Sh SYNOPSIS
33.Cd "maestro* at pci? dev ? function ?"
34.Cd "audio* at maestro?"
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36The
37.Nm
38driver supports ESS maestro 1, 2 and 2E, and a few derived products like
39NEC Versa, or NEC VersaProNX VA26D, as long as they use an AC'97 compliant
40codec, which is always the case, except for very early models. It
41does not support maestro 3 cards, which are entirely different.
42.Pp
43Maestro cards have direct support for 16 bit signed little-endian
44mono and stereo, 8 bit signed and unsigned mono and stereo. Other encodings
45are emulated in software. Sampling range is 4000 - 48000 Hz, with roughly
46a 2 Hz resolution.
47.Pp
48Maestro cards have some DSP and dolby digital 5:1 hardware, but this driver
49does not support it.
50.Pp
51Other functions of maestro cards (modem, joystick) are not supported.
52.Pp
53PCI interrupt sharing works, as long as other devices comply too.
54.Sh HISTORY
55Maestro hardware information was gleaned from the
56.Fx
57and Linux OSS drivers.
58.Sh AUTHORS
