The first development release of the 'native' Via 686A OSS-compatible
audio driver has been posted at

	http://gtf.org/garzik/drivers/

This driver only supports audio playback at present -- recording and
MIDI support[1] are not included at the moment.  Also included is a
diagnostic program which allows developers and hackers to examine the
chip's registers.

Test away, and please report bugs to linux-via mailing list.

Known bugs:  volume may be -very- low on some motherboards, and needs to
be adjusted

	Jeff




[1] Via chips don't include MIDI hardware, so this merely involves
setting up a 'virtual MIDI' interface.
