documentation part.

-
-	SoftOSS is a software based wave table emulation which works with
-	any 16 bit stereo sound card. Due to its nature a fast CPU is
-	required (P133 is minimum). Although SoftOSS does _not_ use MMX
-	instructions it has proven out that recent processors (which appear
-	to have MMX) perform significantly better with SoftOSS than earlier
-	ones. For example a P166MMX beats a PPro200. SoftOSS should not be used
-	on 486 or 386 machines.
-
-	The amount of CPU load caused by SoftOSS can be controlled by
-	selecting the CONFIG_SOFTOSS_RATE and CONFIG_SOFTOSS_VOICES
-	parameters properly (they will be prompted by make config). It's
-	recommended to set CONFIG_SOFTOSS_VOICES to 32. If you have a
-	P166MMX or faster (PPro200 is not faster) you can set
-	CONFIG_SOFTOSS_RATE to 44100 (kHz). However with slower systems it
-	recommended to use sampling rates around 22050 or even 16000 kHz.
-	Selecting too high values for these parameters may hang your
-	system when playing MIDI files with hight degree of polyphony
-	(number of concurrently playing notes). It's also possible to
-	decrease CONFIG_SOFTOSS_VOICES. This makes it possible to use
-	higher sampling rates. However using fewer voices decreases
-	playback quality more than decreasing the sampling rate.
-
-	SoftOSS keeps the samples loaded on the system's RAM so much RAM is
-	required. SoftOSS should never be used on machines with less than 16 MB
-	of RAM since this is potentially dangerous (you may accidentally run out
-	of memory which probably crashes the machine). 
-
-	SoftOSS implements the wave table API originally designed for GUS. For
-	this reason all applications designed for GUS should work (at least
-	after minor modifications). For example gmod/xgmod and playmidi -g are
-	known to work.
-
-	To work SoftOSS will require GUS compatible
-	patch files to be installed on the system (in /dos/ultrasnd/midi). You
-	can use the public domain MIDIA patchset available from several ftp
-	sites.
-
-        *********************************************************************
-	IMPORTANT NOTICE! The original patch set distributed with the Gravis 
-	Ultrasound card is not in public domain (even though it's available from
-	some FTP sites). You should contact Voice Crystal (www.voicecrystal.com)
-	if you like to use these patches with SoftOSS included in OSS/Free.
