   I never got u-law or a-law to work. I tried various ADPCM formats which
gave correct playback speed, but much noise. There seems to be a Media
Vision ADPCM format, which is probably what the Jazz16 wants, but I have no
information about that format. FWIW, the playback_format/capture_format
values I've tried are:

#define SB_DSP_ALAW_OUTPUT_AUTO         0x1F
#define SB_DSP_ALAW_INPUT_AUTO          0x2F
#define SB_DSP_ULAW_OUTPUT_AUTO         0x7f
#define SB_DSP_ULAW_INPUT_AUTO          0x8f
#define SB_DSP_ADPCM_OUTPUT_AUTO        0x7C+1
#define SB_DSP_ADPCM_INPUT_AUTO         0x8C+1

   It turned out that I can't disable just the MPU port.
