Subject: HEADS UP: sbpro EOF removed
This *probably* won't affect you. If you don't use ISA based
SoundBlasters, or use sound from within virtualized environments, you
can safely delete this message.
My putback of
6709032 EOF sbpro driver
removes support for ISA based SoundBlaster devices. If you have an ISA
based SoundBlaster device (unlikely!), or if you use an emulation
environment that emulates such a device (qemu or bochs), you may not be
able to play sound any more. (Its likely that you weren't able to anyway.)
VirtualBox emulates an Intel ICH based sound device, so you might want
to give it a whirl, if you need sound from inside a virtual environment.
