I'm submitting the following self-review case on my own behalf.  Its another
audio driver. If anyone feels this warrants promotion to a fast track, then
please speak up.

4. Technical Description
Title: audiols audio driver
Requested Binding:  Minor


This project proposes to deliver a device driver for the
Creative Audigy LS family of audio devices.  These parts are found
in discrete audio boards, such as the Audigy2-LS and SoundBlaster Live 24-bit
7.1 sound cards.

The driver would be called "audiols", and would be delivered in a package
SUNWaudiols.  It would use the Consolidation Private Boomer (PSARC 2008/318)
interfaces.

The package name would "Committed", and the driver would be "Uncommitted",
as would any specific features delivered by the driver.

We are not planning on providing FMA support for this driver (we don't
believe it is strategic, and no other audio drivers have FMA support
currently).

In initial delivery, we are planning on supporting basic stereo playback
and record using the analog ports on the device.  However, architecturally,
we'd like to allow for the chance to broaden this support for surround sound
or SPDIF if time permits.  (The device can support 7.1 and digital SPDIF
output.)
