The correct detection of the chip -doesn't always succeed however, so unless you use the kernel isapnp facilities -(and you chip is pnp capable) the default behaviour is 2.0 behaviour which -means: only detect ES688 and ES1688. - -All ESS chips now have a recording level setting. This is a need-to-have for -people who want to use their ESS for recording sound. - -Every chip that's detected as a later-than-es1688 chip has a 6 bits logarithmic -master volume control. - -Every chip that's detected as a ES1887 now has Full Duplex support. Made a -little testprogram that shows that is works, haven't seen a real program that -needs this however. - -For ESS chips an additional parameter "esstype" can be specified.
