-alsa-base for Debian
-----------------------
+                     alsa-base for Debian
+                     ----------------------
 
-   --- Users of ALSA 0.9/1.0 series from version 0.9.0beta10 or before ---
+Last updated 2 September 2004
 
- The driver names since ALSA 0.9 have been renamed. They used to include
- "-card-" in their driver filenames, but these have now been removed.  You may
- need to edit your configuration file, /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9.  If your driver
- configuration includes "-card-":
- Example:
-   alias snd-card-0 snd-card-sb16.
- A fixed example is:
-   alias snd-card-0 snd-sb16
-
-************************************************************************
-
-1) ALSA configuration file for Debian GNU/Linux is located in
-   /etc/default/alsa.
-
-2) /etc/init.d/alsa doesn't stop ALSA driver by default if there is an
-   application which uses sound devices. If you want to stop the ALSA driver
-   forcibly, you can invoke /etc/init.d/alsa with force- prefix.
-   For example, if you want to restart drivers forcibly, the proper command
-   would be: /etc/init.d/alsa force-restart
-
-3) If you are using a kernel that contains devfs support, you need to enable
-   it, and mount it under /dev to use ALSA, or you can create the ALSA device 
-   files under /dev/snd/ by using mknod.
-
-4) Another method of configuration is running 'alsaconf', which is available in
-   in the package alsa-utils, to configure ALSA for you. Alsaconf will also
-   perform hardware detection.

+News
+====
+
+Users of ALSA 0.9/1.0 series from version 0.9.0beta10 or before N.B.:
+
+The driver names have changed since ALSA 0.9. They used to include
+"-card-" but this string now been removed.  Check your module loader
+configuration to make sure that "-card-" is absent.
+
+Notes
+=====
+
+1) The ALSA configuration file is /etc/default/alsa
+
+2) If you want to unload ALSA driver modules then you will have to stop
+   all applications that are using ALSA device files under /dev/.  To do
+   this you can invoke /etc/init.d/alsa methods with a 'force-' prefix.
+   For example, if you want to restart drivers forcibly, do
+   "/etc/init.d/alsa force-restart".
+
+3) If you are using a kernel that contains devfs support then in order
+   to use ALSA you must enable that support and mount devfs under /dev/.
+   If you are not using a devfs kernel then you can create the ALSA
+   device files under /dev/snd/ by using mknod.
+
+4) The alsaconf program, available in the package alsa-utils, performs
+   hardware detection and can configure ALSA for you.
