Name: pcsp Version: 1.3b Kernelver: 2.2.18-pre16 Status: 8 Maintainer: David Woodhouse Author: Michael Beck Description: Internal PC speaker support Date: 16-OCT-2000 Descfile-URL: ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/people/dwmw2/pcsp/pcsp.desc Download-URL: ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/people/dwmw2/pcsp/ If you don't have a sound card in your computer, you can include a driver for the PC speaker which allows it to act like a primitive sound card. You can compile this as a module, in which case only the timer-interrupt hooks and frequency initialization code will appear in the kernel, and the rest of the driver will be loaded as a module whenever you want. Further this driver supports DACs (Digital-to-Analog-Converter) connected to the parallel port. You don't need this driver if you only want your computer to beep. Tools for configuration of the PC speaker devices, along with notes and circuit diagrams for those wishing to build their own DAC device to attach to the parallel port, are available at ftp://ftp.infradead.org/pub/pcsp/pcsnd-kit.tar.gz All the hard work on this driver was performed by Michael Beck, and it was ported to work with Alan Cox's soundcore subsystem in 2.1 kernels by David Woodhouse . All that remains relevant of Michael's original README file is the following: Feel free to contact me (flames about my english and the useless of this driver will be redirected to /dev/null, oh no, it's full...).
