I know how hard it can be to read all those damn README files, 
but this is actually an important one.

If you have used this package before, you know pretty much what
you need to know, besides one thing.

The major number of the /dev/matrix device has been changed, since
the previously used 42 is not intended for distributed drivers.
It now uses major 60, and doesn't care about the minor, you can set
it to 0.
NOTE that this will not be the major number for the device whenever
it's (more) finished, it will then, hopefully, have major 14 as
other soundcards.

The second important thing in this readme file, is that the dsp56k
driver is now being implemented into the linux tree. The patchfile
in this directory will patch your kernel (2.1.21) to take use of
the driver. This means that, if you do or have a kernel with dsp56k
driver installed, you don't need the dsp56k driver in this package.

Now, all you have to do is download the rest, and please, read the
INSTALL files if you are unsure about how to use it. Or mail me, 
whatever!

What you need:
* dsp56k-0.9.6.tar.gz  /dev/dsp56k device driver
  matrix-0.0.5.tar.gz  /dev/matrix device driver
  mp2-0.0.9.tar.gz     the player itself, might be a good idea

Optional:
  audiocontrol-0.0.2.tar.gz  to set volume of /dev/matrix (default=max)
  mp2info-0.0.1.tar.gz       show info about mp2, scan and fix errors
  lod2c-0.5.0.tar.gz         utilities if you want to hack some DSP code


*) If you have a dsp56k driver supporting kernel, you don't need this.


The above is for kernel version 2.1.79. Older 2.1.x kernels are not
supported, but older versions of the drivers are still available.

If you have a 2.0.x kernel, use the files in `2.0.x-at_own_risk'. That
contains hacked versions, to fit with 2.0.x kernels. Note that these
lack some memory checks, and might crash if you use them
incorrectly. The mp2 player seems to be correct, and has not crashed
for me.


Have fun!
