So I have been trying to write a new audio driver (for Xonar DS if
anyone interested) and therefore reading audio(9).

I was confused for a while by the use of "will" here. I think it's not
clear enough that these functions should be called by the driver code.

I'm not a native speaker, so may be it's just my lack of familiarity with
english idioms. Sorry for the noise if that's the case.
