generic AC-97 codec driver
.Sh DESCRIPTION
AC-97 codecs contain the analog-to-digital (A/D), digital-to-analog
-(D/A), and mixing circuitry of many modern sound cards. AC-97 codecs,
-for the most part, do not talk to host busses like the PCI bus
-directly. Instead, they communicate through an interface chip, called
-the host controller. The Ensoniq AudioPCI 97 (see
-.Xr eap 4
-) is an example of such a host controller.
