+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ac97
+.Nd generic AC'97 codec driver
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+AC'97 codecs contain the analog to digital (A/D), digital to analog
+(D/A), and mixing circuitry of many modern sound cards.
+AC'97 codecs, for the most part, do not talk to host buses like the PCI bus
+directly.
+Instead, they communicate through an interface chip, called
+the host controller.
+The Ensoniq AudioPCI 97 (see
+.Xr eap 4 )
+is an example of such a host controller.
+.Pp
+Unlike many drivers, the
+.Nm
+driver does not appear in the configuration file.
+Instead, the driver is automatically attached by the drivers that require it.

+.Sh BUGS
+The
+.Nm
+driver does not keep track of the current user settings and instead
+relies on the hardware to do this.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver could do more to detect mixer channels that don't work and cull
+them from the list.
