Well, it's not that simple.
When I tried to write driver for it last year, I found that:
1) You also need to setup ASSP (Application Specific Signal Processor)
in the chip and GPIO properly.
Source code for BTM2E.EXE should be a help here.
(I didn't have that source, when I was tryng to write the driver.)
2) For DMA to work, you need to support DDMA in FreeBSD.
I have small patch for 3-stable, but will not work with -current
due to newbus changes.
3) When Maestro2E acts as Soundblaster Pro emulation, DSP_CMD_GETVER
returns 0x302 (or may be it was 0x303?), that are not supported in
newpcm and luigi's pcm drivers.
May be the current support for ver=0x301 work? I have no clue here.
If I get the time, I could try to write from scratch, again.
