NAME
esl -- ESS Technology AudioDrive (Programmed I/O mode) family audio device driver
SYNOPSIS
esl* at pcmcia? function ? audio* at audiobus? opl* at esl?
DESCRIPTION
The esl driver provides support for the ESS 1688 AudioDrive audio devices on a PCMCIA card. Since there is no way to do DMA over the PCMCIA bus, the esl driver uses a Programmed I/O mode to drive the cards. This is very inefficient, but is the only way to drive such a card. Cards supported by this driver are capable of 8- and 16-bit audio sample playback at rates up to 44.1kHz.
SEE ALSO
audio(4), midi(4), opl(4), pcmcia(4)
HISTORY
The esl device driver appeared in NetBSD 1.6.
