I have a Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 PCI that I thought should
work. the command given in the manual bind -a #A /dev gives me a
usage:... error message. Can I get this card to work, and how.
Secondly, man audio tells me that there should be a page called
audio(7), but it's missing. The man pages on the web have this page
listed in the index too, but accessing it gets a 404 page not found
message. Can anyone explain this?
Thanks,
Joel Salomon

No, Creative uses misleading packaging. It's only "compatible"
with a genuine SoundBlaster-16 with help from a software emulation,
part of the (Windows) driver, which Plan 9 doesn't provide.

However, Creative has been pretty cooperative with helping make free
software drivers for Linux, so I would expect that it shouldn't be too
hard to write a Plan 9 driver by looking at the Linux one.

I'm not sure that the SB16 PCI is supported.
I've only ever used ISA cards. audio(7) is
an internal page, and shouldn't be in the
index.
