Re: is the Creative Labs AWE64 GOLD Soundcard supported?
In my previous posting, I forgot to attach the isapnp.conf file with
the solution suggested by Marcus Brinkmann, here it is.
Also, I mentioned kernel 2.1.55 - err... I _have_ problems building
it at the moment - but forgot to say that I wanted to test it more for the
IPC SHMEM kernel feature needed by SLab-1.0 than for pnp/awe I currently
have running via isapnp/awe-debian-packages.
SLab seems to be a very interesting package, as for the description...
I'm attaching two small files about it, the .lsm file and the system
requirements from the readme. Did anybody test this software with Debian
(and possibly with an AWE 64 Gold)?

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-------------------
This runs and was developed on a P133 16 MB system. Get gobs of disk space
if you want to do some real recording, 16 tracks CD quality requires about
80MB a minute. Compression is not going to be available for a while, although
if new songs are created with a minimum of predefined run time (5 or 10 seconds)
then autoextension on the Linux filesystem will only write new track sections.
The consequence is, if you define 16 track, but only ever use 8 simultaneously
then the disk space requirements will only be half of the total (and processing
capacity is spared). Session recording will allow you to fade tracks in and
out as you need them.
Linux:
IPC SHMEM required in kernel. Software was compiled on a 2.1.24 kernel, and
full duplex may require this kernel. OSS/Free 3.5-10b.
