23 help
24 Say Y or M to enable MIDI sequencer and router support. This
25 feature allows routing and enqueueing of MIDI events. Events
26 can be processed at a given time.
27
28 Many programs require this feature, so you should enable it
29 unless you know what you're doing.

34 help
35 Say Y here to enable the dummy sequencer client. This client
36 is a simple MIDI-through client: all normal input events are
37 redirected to the output port immediately.
38
39 You don't need this unless you want to connect many MIDI
40 devices or applications together.

42 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
43 will be called snd-seq-dummy.

80 help
81 If you disable this option, the ALSA's OSS PCM API will not
82 support conversion of channels, formats and rates. It will
83 behave like most of new OSS/Free drivers in 2.4/2.6 kernels.

101 select SND_TIMER
102 help
103 Say Y here to enable RTC timer support for ALSA. ALSA uses
104 the RTC timer as a precise timing source and maps the RTC
105 timer to ALSA's timer interface. The ALSA sequencer code also
106 can use this timing source.

113 depends on SND_RTCTIMER && SND_SEQUENCER
114 default y
115 help
116 Say Y here to use the RTC timer as the default sequencer
117 timer. This is strongly recommended because it ensures
118 precise MIDI timing even when the system timer runs at less
119 than 1000 Hz.
120
121 If in doubt, say Y.

126 help
127 If you say Y here, the minor numbers of ALSA device files in
128 /dev/snd/ are allocated dynamically. This allows you to have
129 more than 8 sound cards, but requires a dynamic device file
130 system like udev.
131
132 If you are unsure about this, say N here.
