NAME
     oss_geode - National Semiconductor Geode audio driver.

DESCRIPTION
     Open Sound System driver for National Semiconductor Geode/CS5530/CS5536 au-
     dio controllers.

     Geode device characteristics:

	    *  8/16 bit playback/record

	    *  mono/stereo playback/recording

	    *  8KHz to 48Khz sample rate.

NOTES
     Some  old	Geode CPUs are not able to handle heavy computational loads.  If
     your audio streams are use a lot of CPU, you can start getting garbled  au-
     dio since the OSS Sample Rate Convertor is CPU intensive. Setting vmix0-src
     to  OFF will allow you to play audio but only at a fixed rate set via vmix-
     ctl (Default: 48Khz).
