Installation Instructions for Creative EMU10K1 drivers (v0.4)
English v1.0
-------------------------------------------------------------

Card support
------------
- Creative Sound Blaster Live!

Features
--------
- Open Sound System (OSS) compatible
- Full duplex wave playback/recording functionality (/dev/dsp)
- Simultaneous wave playback streams
- Analog mixer (AC97) support (/dev/mixer)
- Sound status reporting (/dev/sndstat)
- MIDI UART support (/dev/midi)
- Joystick interface support (>= 2.2.x kernels only)
- Supports multiple EMU10K1-based cards


Requirements
------------
- The kernel must be compiled:
  - With loadable modules support            (CONFIG_MODULES = y)
  - With soundcard support as a module       (CONFIG_SOUND = m)
  - Without any integrated soundcard drivers (CONFIG_SOUND_* = n)
- "PnP-compatible OS installed" option in BIOS must be disabled
- Recommended system configuration: Min. 200 MHz Pentium-class w/ 32 MB RAM

Compilation
-----------
To compile the driver, simply type "make" in the emu10k1/ directory.
This will generate the file "emu10k1.o".

Installation
------------
1. Determine your kernel sound modules installation location
     (usually /lib/modules/2.x.y/misc)
2. Copy the driver to that location as emu10k1.o
     (eg. /lib/modules/2.x.y/misc/emu10k1.o)
3. Unload all existing soundcard drivers, including soundcore
4. Remove all old soundcard references from /etc/conf.modules
5. Add a new reference to the driver in /etc/conf.modules:
     (eg. "alias sound emu10k1" or "alias char-major-14 emu10k1")
6. Load the driver: "modprobe emu10k1"
     

Joystick support
----------------
1. Load the driver with parameter "joystick=0x200"
     eg. insmod emu10k1 joystick=0x200
2. Load base joystick driver
     eg. insmod joystick
3. Load specific joystick driver
     eg. insmod joy-analog (If you are using an analog joystick)
