I recently had to compile a kernel for a friend who has a soundblaster pro.
anyway, the sound configure was slightly confusing- it wanted the 16 bit
sound DMA, and the soundblaster pro is an 8 bit device. it didn't give
me a clue as to what to do (set it to 0, -1, or what?).

after reading the Readme in linux/drivers/sound (why isn't this in
linux/Documentation; at least as softlinks?), it appeared i needed to
set the 16 bit DMA to the same value as the 8 bit DMA.

so anyway, the following is a tiny patch that should save some people a
little confusion:

PS: could we get the Readme updated with Hannu's new mail/http location?
