+			          (maybe won't work at all in the future)
+			ALSA    : no driver
+			Max kHz : 6 ;) (the driver emulates 44.1 maybe more)

-Gravis Ultrasound ACE:	OSS (2.4) : default settings are OK
-			ALSA : if video lags, use OSS or mplayerHQ
-
+ - MPlayer is mostly intended for OSS
+ - use at least 2.4 if possible, 2.2 isn't tested
  - if sound clicks when playing from CD-ROM, turn on IRQ unmasking !
    for example "hdparm -u1 /dev/cdrom" (see "man hdparm" !!!)
  - don't use your soundcard by other application ( for ex. XMMS ) !
    if you use ESD, start MPlayer with the esddsp utility !
- - use high speed hdd or CDROM and CPU !
