dmasound split

[Michel Lanners]

Hi Geert,

On  14 Mar, this message from Geert Uytterhoeven echoed through cyberspace:

With all the latest patches applied:

1. compiled-in doesn't work; it seems the low-level parts are not
initialised:

Mar 19 08:54:33 piglet kernel: kmod: failed to exec  -s -k sound-slot-0, errno = 2
Mar 19 08:54:33 piglet kernel: kmod: failed to exec  -s -k sound-service-0-6, errno = 2

2. generic sound support compiled-in, PowerMac dmasound as a module:
kernel doesn't boot (hangs somewhere very early, drops me back onto
OF's screen)

3. sound & dmasound as modules: seems to work ok AFAICT. I don't have
any real sound apps to test, except system beep and using the mixer ;-)

Sorry I've not looked in more detail what's wrong, but I'm on other
subjects at the moment...

Michel
