Hardware Drivers
----------------

   These drivers access to the sound hardware of the machine they run
on.  Depending on your Unix flavor, you'll end with one or more drivers
from this list:

`drv_aix'
     This driver is only available under AIX, and access its audio
     device.
     This driver only supports software mixing.

`drv_alsa'
     This driver is only available under Linux, and requires the ALSA
     driver to be compiled for your current kernel.
     This driver only supports software mixing, but a future version of
     the driver might be able to use the hardware capabilities of some
     sound cards.

`drv_dart'
     This driver is only available under OS/2 version 3 and higher
     (Warp), and uses the "Direct Audio Real-Time" interface.
     This driver only supports software mixing.

`drv_hp'
     This driver is only available under HP-UX, and access its audio
     device.
     This driver only supports software mixing.

`drv_os2'
     This driver is only available under OS/2 version 3 and higher
     (Warp), and OS/2 2.x with MMPM/2.
     This driver only supports software mixing.

`drv_oss'
     This driver is available under any Unix with the Open Sound System
     drivers installed. Linux and FreeBSD also come with the OSS/Lite
     driver (the non-commercial version of OSS) and can make use of
     this driver.
     This driver only supports software mixing.

`drv_sam9407'
     This driver is only available under Linux, and requires the Linux
     sam9407 driver to be compiled for your current kernel.
     This driver only supports hardware mixing.

`drv_sgi'
     This driver is only available under IRIX, and uses the SGI audio
     library.
     This driver only supports software mixing.

`drv_sun'
     This driver is only available under Unices which implement
     SunOS-like audio device interfaces, that is, SunOS, Solaris,
     NetBSD and OpenBSD.
     This driver only supports software mixing.

`drv_ultra'
     This driver is only available under Linux, and requires the Linux
     Ultrasound driver (the ancestor of ALSA) to be compiled for your
     current kernel.
     This driver only supports hardware mixing.
