About Echo Audio driver:

This is a multiaudio driver for Echo Audio cards.

It supports Echo Audio cards. It's based on the Echo Audio Generic Driver.

Features :
- Playback and record
- tested OK on a Gina3g on R5 (with Haiku MultiAudio media addon), CLAmp, SoundRecorder
- default output is to be chosen with the Media preferences panel (Haiku's one can help)
- all available output/input streams are published as 16 bits/stereo/48kHz.
- MIDI support (only MIDI IN tested)

The LATEST Multiaudio MediaAddon is REQUIRED for better experience (see related links below). Please report your experience (success and fail) with your card model and driver version.

The driver is known to work with the following cards :
* Gina3g

Problems :
* Note on the audio quality : It seems the audio mixer included in BeOSR5 is not good at samplerate conversion 44khz - 48 khz. In Dano there are several conversion methods which fix this problem.
* Reported bugs include noise on recording, KDL with echo24

Source is available in the Haiku SVN repository (see http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/haiku/haiku/trunk/src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/audio/echo)

Layla24 & Mona Laptop Adapters and FireWire products are not supported.
