+.Sh NAME
+.Nm maestro
+.Nd ESS Maestro 1 and 2 sound hardware driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "maestro* at pci? dev ? function ?"
+.Cd "audio* at maestro?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports ESS maestro 1, 2 and 2E, and a few derived products like
+NEC Versa, or NEC VersaProNX VA26D, as long as they use an AC'97 compliant
+codec, which is always the case, except for very early models. It
+does not support maestro 3 cards, which are entirely different.
+.Pp
+Maestro cards have direct support for 16 bit signed little-endian
+mono and stereo, 8 bit signed and unsigned mono and stereo. Other encodings
+are emulated in software. Sampling range is 4000 - 48000 Hz, with roughly
+a 2Hz resolution.
+.Pp
+Maestro cards have some DSP and dolby digital 5:1 hardware, but this driver
+does not support it.
+.Pp
+Other functions of maestro cards (modem, joystick) are not supported.
+.Pp
+PCI interrupt sharing works, as long as other devices comply too.
+.Sh HISTORY
+This driver is directly based on the
+.Fx
+and Linux OSS drivers.
+.Sh AUTHORS
+David Leonard and Marc Espie.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr ac97 4 ,
+.Xr audio 4 ,
+.Xr pci 4 .
+.Sh BUGS
+Recording should work soon.
