Also sound quality is probably +worse at lower kHz compared to playing through the synthesizer which does +interpolation. +.Pp +If the implementation has a 'bad' oscillator, using frequencies 44.8kHz +and 38.4kHz will result in incorrect playback frequency. The author has +a GUS PnP Pro which displays this behavior. +.Pp +Other members of the Interwave family have not been tested and don't +have the glue needed to make them work. Should someone need to implement it, +not many changes in the existing code are needed. +Output voltage control in +register CFIG2 [7] should be set differently for some other members of the +family. +.Pp +Other architectures than i386 haven't been tested. The bus_space abstraction +has been used from the beginning, so it should work. |
