[PATCH] The scheduled removal of some OSS drivers

This patch contains the scheduled removal of OSS drivers that:
- have ALSA drivers for the same hardware without known regressions and
- whose Kconfig options have been removed in 2.6.17.

-/proc/sound, /dev/sndstat
--------------------------
-
-/proc/sound and /dev/sndstat is not supported by the
-driver. To find out whether the driver succeeded loading,
-check the kernel log (dmesg).
-
-
-ALaw/uLaw sample formats
-------------------------
-
-This driver does not support the ALaw/uLaw sample formats.
-ALaw is the default mode when opening a sound device
-using OSS/Free. The reason for the lack of support is
-that the hardware does not support these formats, and adding
-conversion routines to the kernel would lead to very ugly
-code in the presence of the mmap interface to the driver.
-And since xquake uses mmap, mmap is considered important :-)
-and no sane application uses ALaw/uLaw these days anyway.
-In short, playing a Sun .au file as follows:
-
-cat my_file.au > /dev/dsp
-
-does not work. Instead, you may use the play script from
-Chris Bagwell's sox-12.14 package (available from the URL
-below) to play many different audio file formats.
-The script automatically determines the audio format
-and does do audio conversions if necessary.

-
-
-Blocking vs. nonblocking IO
----------------------------
-
-Unlike OSS/Free this driver honours the O_NONBLOCK file flag
-not only during open, but also during read and write.
-This is an effort to make the sound driver interface more
-regular. Timidity has problems with this; a patch
-is available from http://www.ife.ee.ethz.ch/~sailer/linux/pciaudio.html.
-(Timidity patched will also run on OSS/Free).

-MIDI UART
----------
-
-The driver supports a simple MIDI UART interface, with
-no ioctl's supported.
-
-
-MIDI synthesizer
-----------------
-
-This soundcard does not have any hardware MIDI synthesizer;
-MIDI synthesis has to be done in software. To allow this
-the driver/soundcard supports two PCM (/dev/dsp) interfaces.
-The second one goes to the mixer "synth" setting and supports
-only a limited set of sampling rates (44100, 22050, 11025, 5512).
-By setting lineout to 1 on the driver command line
-(eg. insmod es1370 lineout=1) it is even possible on some
-cards to convert the LINEIN jack into a second LINEOUT jack, thus
-making it possible to output four independent audio channels!
-
-There is a freely available software package that allows
-MIDI file playback on this soundcard called Timidity.
-See http://www.cgs.fi/~tt/timidity/.
