Re: New driver for ESI Juli_at_ soundcard (copied from freebsd-drivers)

Everything works well with ESI Juli_at_ XTe (PCIe version of the soundcard).
The only uncommon thing I noticed is a bit different behavior of the
default mixer:
"pcm" mixer device is absent, so it is necessary to use "vol" instead. And
mplayer (default player I use) reports:
  [Mixer] No hardware mixing, inserting volume filter
when I change volume by means of mplayer.
After I added "mixer-channel=vol" into ".mplayer/config" file mplayer
behavior back to normal. So I'm happy :)
Thanks a lot for your work.
