+NAME
+oss_cmpci - CMedia CMI8738/8768 audio driver.
+
+DESCRIPTION
+Open Sound System driver for CMedia Electronics CMI8738/8768 audio
+
+CMI87xx device characteristics:
+ o 8/16 bit playback/record
+ o mono/stereo/4ch/5.1ch playback
+ o 8KHz to 48Khz sample rate.
+
+ MIXER PANEL
+The CMedia chip provides some unique features that are set up
+by the Mixer chip. Running ossxmix will display the CMI8738 mixer
+panel.
+
+Most of the sliders and buttons are self evident. However there
+are some options that need explaining:
+
+Dual Dac: Enabling this button sets the CMPCI device as two
+separate output devices with /dev/dsp1 audio going to the front and
+/dev/dsp0 going to the rear outputs. Separate audio streams can
+be send to the device simultaneously.
+
+Speaker Mode: The audio can be sent just to the front speakers or
+it can be sent simultaneously to all speakers in the "Spread" mode.
+
+AC3 passthrough only works on Models 037 and higher. This is because of
+a hardware bug in the earlier models so check the model number
+(ossinfo -a).
+
+SPDIF:
+
+o Enable will enable SPDIF output.
+
+o Rec will allow you to record from the SPDIF device. Note that when
+you have SPDIF recording enabled, you cannot play 4/6 channel audio.
+
+o Polarity - certain models require you to flip the bit otherwise you
+ get distorted audio.
+
+o IMon - monitor input via SPDIF in.
+
+o Optical - sets the SPDIF to Optical (TOSLINK) or RCA Jacks interface.
