latest handbook

>Description:

As far as I can tell, the notation "experimental" in the "Sound
Devices" portion of the "Supported Hardware" section of the handbook
is  out of date.  I'm not sure about the items that involve Midi
support, but according to reports the Soundblaster Live! and SB PCI
work fine.

>How-To-Repeat:

Ask Cameron Grant?

>Fix:

I know the suppported hardware lists are undergoing reworking (and
consolidation), but I should give a patch if I can...

 I do not think that we should lists the SB PCI and SB Live! without any
 kind of warning.  I've used both of them with FreeBSD.  We have enough
 support to use them for playback but AFAIK there are some features of
 these cards where the support is flaky and/or not present at all:
 
 - recording
 - support for the digital outputs
 - Dolby Stuff (for the new 5.1 models)
 - surrond sound (both 4 speaker and 5+1 speaker setups)
 
 Just my $0.02

State-Changed-When: Sun Sep 2 04:55:05 PDT 2001 
State-Changed-Why:  
The supported hardware section has been removed from the Handbook.  It 
was always out of date.  The most frequently maintained document for 
hardware compatbility are the release notes and hardware.txt document. 
Udo gave a reason why we might not want to list the SB Live! as fully 
supported in any document.  Thanks!
