+ Module snd-adlib
+ ----------------
+
+ Module for AdLib FM cards.
+
+ port - port # for OPL chip
+
+ This module supports multiple cards. It does not support autoprobe, so
+ the port must be specified. For actual AdLib FM cards it will be 0x388.
+ Note that this card does not have PCM support and no mixer; only FM
+ synthesis.
+
+ Make sure you have "sbiload" from the alsa-tools package available and,
+ after loading the module, find out the assigned ALSA sequencer port
+ number through "sbiload -l". Example output:
+
+ Port Client name Port name
+ 64:0 OPL2 FM synth OPL2 FM Port
+
+ Load the std.sb and drums.sb patches also supplied by sbiload:
+
+ sbiload -p 64:0 std.sb drums.sb
+
+ If you use this driver to drive an OPL3, you can use std.o3 and drums.o3
+ instead. To have the card produce sound, use aplaymidi from alsa-utils:
+
+ aplaymidi -p 64:0 foo.mid
+
