36config SND_SEQUENCER
37	tristate "Sequencer support"
38	select SND_TIMER
39	help
40	  Say Y or M to enable MIDI sequencer and router support.  This
41	  feature allows routing and enqueueing of MIDI events.  Events
42	  can be processed at a given time.
43
44	  Many programs require this feature, so you should enable it
45	  unless you know what you're doing.
46
47config SND_SEQ_DUMMY
48	tristate "Sequencer dummy client"
49	depends on SND_SEQUENCER
50	help
51	  Say Y here to enable the dummy sequencer client.  This client
52	  is a simple MIDI-through client: all normal input events are
53	  redirected to the output port immediately.
54
55	  You don't need this unless you want to connect many MIDI
56	  devices or applications together.
57
58	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
59	  will be called snd-seq-dummy.

61config SND_OSSEMUL
62	select SOUND_OSS_CORE
63	bool
64
65config SND_MIXER_OSS
66	tristate "OSS Mixer API"
67	select SND_OSSEMUL
68	help
69	  To enable OSS mixer API emulation (/dev/mixer*), say Y here
70	  and read <file:Documentation/sound/alsa/OSS-Emulation.txt>.
71
72	  Many programs still use the OSS API, so say Y.
73
74	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
75	  will be called snd-mixer-oss.
76
77config SND_PCM_OSS
78	tristate "OSS PCM (digital audio) API"
79	select SND_OSSEMUL
80	select SND_PCM
81	help
82	  To enable OSS digital audio (PCM) emulation (/dev/dsp*), say Y
83	  here and read <file:Documentation/sound/alsa/OSS-Emulation.txt>.
84
85	  Many programs still use the OSS API, so say Y.
86
87	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
88	  will be called snd-pcm-oss.
89
90config SND_PCM_OSS_PLUGINS
91	bool "OSS PCM (digital audio) API - Include plugin system"
92	depends on SND_PCM_OSS
93        default y
94	help
95          If you disable this option, the ALSA's OSS PCM API will not
96          support conversion of channels, formats and rates. It will
97          behave like most of new OSS/Free drivers in 2.4/2.6 kernels.
98
99config SND_PCM_TIMER
100	bool "PCM timer interface" if EXPERT
101	default y
102	help
103	  If you disable this option, pcm timer will be unavailable, so
104	  those stubs that use pcm timer (e.g. dmix, dsnoop & co) may work
105	  incorrectlly.
106
107	  For some embedded devices, we may disable it to reduce memory
108	  footprint, about 20KB on x86_64 platform.
109
110config SND_SEQUENCER_OSS
111	bool "OSS Sequencer API"
112	depends on SND_SEQUENCER
113	select SND_OSSEMUL
114	help
115	  Say Y here to enable OSS sequencer emulation (both
116	  /dev/sequencer and /dev/music interfaces).
117
118	  Many programs still use the OSS API, so say Y.
119
120	  If you choose M in "Sequencer support" (SND_SEQUENCER),
121	  this will be compiled as a module. The module will be called
122	  snd-seq-oss.
123
124config SND_HRTIMER
125	tristate "HR-timer backend support"
126	depends on HIGH_RES_TIMERS
127	select SND_TIMER
128	help
129	  Say Y here to enable HR-timer backend for ALSA timer.  ALSA uses
130	  the hrtimer as a precise timing source. The ALSA sequencer code
131	  also can use this timing source.
132
133	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
134	  will be called snd-hrtimer.
135
136config SND_SEQ_HRTIMER_DEFAULT
137	bool "Use HR-timer as default sequencer timer"
138	depends on SND_HRTIMER && SND_SEQUENCER
139	default y
140	help
141	  Say Y here to use the HR-timer backend as the default sequencer
142	  timer.
143
144config SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS
145	bool "Dynamic device file minor numbers"
146	help
147	  If you say Y here, the minor numbers of ALSA device files in
148	  /dev/snd/ are allocated dynamically.  This allows you to have
149	  more than 8 sound cards, but requires a dynamic device file
150	  system like udev.
151
152	  If you are unsure about this, say N here.
153
154config SND_MAX_CARDS
155	int "Max number of sound cards"
156	range 4 256
157	default 32
158	depends on SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS
159	help
160	  Specify the max number of sound cards that can be assigned
161	  on a single machine.
162
163config SND_SUPPORT_OLD_API
164	bool "Support old ALSA API"
165	default y
166	help
167	  Say Y here to support the obsolete ALSA PCM API (ver.0.9.0 rc3
168	  or older).
169
170config SND_PROC_FS
171        bool "Sound Proc FS Support" if EXPERT
172        depends on PROC_FS
173        default y
174        help
175          Say 'N' to disable Sound proc FS, which may reduce code size about
176          9KB on x86_64 platform.
177          If unsure say Y.
178
179config SND_VERBOSE_PROCFS
180	bool "Verbose procfs contents"
181	depends on SND_PROC_FS
182	default y
183	help
184	  Say Y here to include code for verbose procfs contents (provides
185          useful information to developers when a problem occurs).  On the
186          other side, it makes the ALSA subsystem larger.
187
188config SND_VERBOSE_PRINTK
189	bool "Verbose printk"
190	help
191	  Say Y here to enable verbose log messages.  These messages
192	  will help to identify source file and position containing
193	  printed messages.
194
195	  You don't need this unless you're debugging ALSA.
196
197config SND_DEBUG
198	bool "Debug"
199	help
200	  Say Y here to enable ALSA debug code.
201
202config SND_DEBUG_VERBOSE
203	bool "More verbose debug"
204	depends on SND_DEBUG
205	help
206	  Say Y here to enable extra-verbose debugging messages.
207
208	  Let me repeat: it enables EXTRA-VERBOSE DEBUGGING messages.
209	  So, say Y only if you are ready to be annoyed.
210
211config SND_PCM_XRUN_DEBUG
212	bool "Enable PCM ring buffer overrun/underrun debugging"
213	default n
214	depends on SND_DEBUG && SND_VERBOSE_PROCFS
215	help
216	  Say Y to enable the PCM ring buffer overrun/underrun debugging.
217	  It is usually not required, but if you have trouble with
218	  sound clicking when system is loaded, it may help to determine
219	  the process or driver which causes the scheduling gaps.
220
221config SND_VMASTER
222	bool

224config SND_DMA_SGBUF
