I'm submitting the following self-review case on my own behalf. Its another
audio driver. The only potentially contentious portion of it is that we
are only supporting stereo in the first integration though the device can
do 5.1. If anyone feels this warrants promotion to a fast track, then
please speak up.

4. Technical Description
Title: audiosbp16x audio driver
Requested Binding: Minor
This project proposes to deliver a device driver for the
Creative SBP16X family of AC'97 audio devices. These parts are found
on the Dell OEM SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 cards (these devices will have
a label of SB0200 on them.)
The driver would be called "audiosbp16x", and would be delivered in a package
SUNWaudiosbp16x. It would use the Consolidation Private Boomer
(PSARC 2008/318) interfaces.
The package name would be "Committed", and the "audiosbp16x" driver
would be "Uncommitted", as would any specific features delivered by
the driver.
We are not planning on providing FMA support for this driver (we don't
believe it is strategic, and no other audio drivers have FMA support
currently).
The driver will support suspend/resume and quiesce(9e).
The hardware supports 5.1 playback and stereo record, at
rates of up to 48kHz and 16 bit precision. However we are only planning
on supporting stereo features in our first delivery. We will add
support for full 5.1 surround sound as a future RFE, as time permits.
This driver is being supplied and supported by 4Front as part of their
business arrangement with Sun.
