WinBook soundcard now works



I'd like to share how I got my WinBook XL's Yamaha OPL3-SAx soundcard
going under Linux with kernel 2.4.9. I couldn't find specific and helpful
enough documentation online, so hopefully this message might help the next
guy.

I included CONFIG_SOUND_ADLIB=y, CONFIG_SOUND_YM3812=y and
CONFIG_SOUND_OPL3SA2=y in my kernel's .config file. I'm not sure what
modules these relate to, but judging from the makefile I'd look at
adlib_card, opl3, opl3sa2, ad1848, mpu401.

In my lilo.conf I put:

append="pci=irqmask=0xafff adlib=0x388 opl=0x388 opl3sa2=0x370,5,0,1,0x530,0x330,1,0"

(The irqmask thing is unrelated to the soundcard - it's to stop the yenta
 pcmcia cardbus controller grabbing the wrong IRQ, making it impossible to
 use the mouse.)

Finally, at boot time I do a:

	setmixer synth 100 pcm 100 cd 100

The 'synth' is for playmidi, the 'pcm' for mpg123, the 'cd' for cdplay.
All three of those programs now work fine. (-:
