From 3ccee69019d3b23f02204f4c2cb3085f436da252 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stas Sergeev Date: Fri, 16 May 2008 12:10:03 +0200 Subject: snd-pcsp: adjust help texts to frighten users Added the warning text to the help of snd-pcsp about the possible problem with this driver so that user can know of the problem in advance. Also, removed the obsoleted text about ancient pc-speaker patch in CONFIG_SOUND help.
