Appended patch has corrections and minor update for
Documentation/sound/VIBRA16

These changes are based on my experience with VIBRA16 and 2.2.21-pre2 on
Debian Potato on a Compaq Deskpro (which seems to manage all the ISApnp
itself :-).

Regards,
Neale.

it as half-duplex soundcard). Oh, I almost forgot, the RedHat sndconfig
failed detecting it ;)

only two 8-bit dma channels, the second one will be passed to the module
