Hi Takashi
Adrian: this was one of the cards you listed as having an OSS but not an
ALSA driver a while ago.
Attached you'll find an ALSA driver for AdLib FM cards. An AdLib card is
just an OPL2, which was already supported by sound/drivers/opl3, so only
very minimal bus-glue is needed. The patch applies cleanly to both
2.6.16 and 2.6.16-mm1.
The driver has been tested with an actual ancient 8-bit ISA AdLib card
and works fine. It also works fine for an OPL3 {,emulation} as still
found on many ISA soundcards but given that AdLib cards don't have their
own mixer, upping the volume from 0 might be a problem without the card
driver already loaded and driving the OPL3.
As far as I am concerned, this does not need additional testing and can
go to alsa-kernel after a review. It's very unlikely that anyone still
has this ancient card installed anyway. The one I have here was lent to
me and will be returned shortly, but given the minimal nature of this
driver, maintenance should not be a problem.
I also stuck a very tiny HOWTO in ALSA-Configuration.txt, assuming quite
a few people would have no idea how to operate the thing, even if they
do happen across a card. Is it okay there?
Takashi: As the card->shortname, I use "AdLib FM", which includes a
space. sound/core/init.c:choose_default_id() goes to lengths to not
allow this (it turns it into "FM") but when I manually give:
modprobe snd-adlib id="AdLib FM" port=0x388
then the ID is used as is and everything seems fine. I assume that
either the space check could go or that a passed in ID should be
subjected to it as well? (that function also deletes all !isalnum's from
the shortname such as <underscore> which, again, is fine when passed in
manually).
Comments appreciated. I'll go listen to this AdLib render "Master of
Puppets" again now. Heavens, what fun...
Rene.

+ port - port # for OPL chip
+
+ This module supports multiple cards. It does not support autoprobe, so
+ the port must be specified. For actual AdLib FM cards it will be 0x388.
+ Note that this card does not have PCM support and no mixer; only FM
+ synthesis.
+
+ Make sure you have "sbiload" from the alsa-tools package available and,
+ after loading the module, find out the assigned ALSA sequencer port
+ number through "sbiload -l". Example output:
+
+ Port Client name Port name
+ 64:0 OPL2 FM synth OPL2 FM Port
+
+ Load the std.sb and drums.sb patches also supplied by sbiload:
+
+ sbiload -p 64:0 std.sb drums.sb
+
+ If you use this driver to drive an OPL3, you can use std.o3 and drums.o3
+ instead. To have the card produce sound, use aplaymidi from alsa-utils:
+
+ aplaymidi -p 64:0 foo.mid
