Sound Blaster Live mixer / default DSP code		===========================================The EMU10K1 chips have a DSP part which can be programmed to supportvarious ways of sample processing, which is described here.(This acticle does not deal with the overall functionality of the EMU10K1 chips. See the manuals section for further details.)The ALSA driver programs this portion of chip by default code(can be altered later) which offers the following functionality:1) IEC958 (S/PDIF) raw PCM--------------------------This PCM device (it's the 4th PCM device (index 3!) and first subdevice(index 0) for a given card) allows to forward 48kHz, stereo, 16-bitlittle endian streams without any modifications to the digital output(coaxial or optical). The universal interface allows the creation of upto 8 raw PCM devices operating at 48kHz, 16-bit little endian. It wouldbe easy to add support for multichannel devices to the current code,but the conversion routines exist only for stereo (2-channel streams)at the time. Look to tram_poke routines in lowlevel/emu10k1/emufx.c for more details.2) Digital mixer controls-------------------------These controls are built using the DSP instructions. They offer extendedfunctionality. Only the default build-in code in the ALSA driver is describedhere. Note that the controls work as attenuators: the maximum value is the neutral position leaving the signal unchanged. Note that if the  same destination is mentioned in multiple controls, the signal is accumulated and can be wrapped (set to maximal or minimal value without checking of overflow).Explanation of used abbreviations:DAC    - digital to analog converterADC    - analog to digital converterI2S    - one-way three wire serial bus for digital sound by Philips Semiconductors         (this standard is used for connecting standalone DAC and ADC converters)LFE    - low frequency effects (subwoofer signal)AC97   - a chip containing an analog mixer, DAC and ADC convertersIEC958 - S/PDIFFX-bus - the EMU10K1 chip has an effect bus containing 16 accumulators.
