Combo Audio Controller Driver Component for Windows XP Embedded

Copyright (C) 2002 VIA Technologies, INC.
1. Release note
This package is ver 2.0, adapted from logo'ed audio driver
ComboAudio_alu311b.zip for VT82C686A, VT82C686B, VT8231, VT8233,
VT8233A, VT8233C, and VT8235. We have added a generic device ID
to the "VIAUDIO.INF" file so that all the boards, regardless of
their specific Subsystem IDs, can use this component. As a result,
the CAT file no longer works, however.
VIA provides the user with this sample component implementation,
to ease development and test effort. The user, however,
is advised to obtain the latest available driver and author
his or her own components.
