+Aria 16 device driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "aria0 at isa? port 0xPPP irq X drq Y flags Z"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm aria
+driver provides support for sound cards based on Sierra Semiconductor's
+Aria chipset.  Cards based on this chipset are capable of recording and
+play 8- or 16-bit samples in mono or stereo up to 44.1KHz.  Some chipsets
+only play linear or ADCPM, but others will also play Mu-law and A-law
+sounds.  Three different mixer configurations are available.
+.Pp
+The I/O Port Base is selected from 0x280, 0x290, 0x2a0 and 0x2b0. The
+selection method depends on the board. The Aria takes 8 ports.
+.Pp
+The IRQ is selected from 10, 11, or 12.
+.Pp
+The DRQ line is chosen from 5 or 6, this driver will work with or without
+a DRQ.  If no DRQ is given, then the
+.Nm aria
+driver will simply use Direct I/O.
+.Pp
+The flags currently supported are 0x1, for the Prometheus Aria 16/Aria 16se.
+This flag tells the driver to initialise the card.  It is a weird undocumented
+piece of horribleness, but the card will not respond until you twiddle with
+the joystick port...
+.Sh BUGS
+The driver has only been tested on a Prometheus Aria 16.
+.Pp
+No DMA support, yet, so don't bother setting a DRQ.
+.Pp
+The full-duplex features are horribly inconsistent.  (i.e. unusable.)
+.Pp
+The card sometimes drops out, and needs to be reset.  This can be
+accomplished by opening and closing /dev/audio, e.g.
+  echo -n >/dev/audio
+.Pp
+The joystick and MIDI port interfaces are not supported.

+device driver appeared in
