 If you want to change the configuration of the sound board, be sure to
 check off all the configuration items before re-configure it.
 
+Module parameters
+-----------------
+To use this driver as a module, you must configure some module parameters, to
+set up I/O addresses, IRQ lines and DMA channels. Some parameters are
+mandatory while some others are optional. Here a list of parameters you can
+use with this module:
+
+Name		Description
+====		===========
+MANDATORY
+io		I/O base address (0x220 or 0x240)
+irq		irq line (5, 7, 9, 10 or 11)
+dma		dma channel (0, 1 or 3)
+
+OPTIONAL
+mss_base	I/O base address for activate MSS mode (default SBPRO)
+		(0x530 or 0xE80)
+mpu_base	I/O base address for activate MPU-401 mode
+		(0x300, 0x310, 0x320 or 0x330)
+mpu_irq		MPU-401 irq line (5, 7, 9, 10 or 0)
+
+The /etc/conf.modules will have a line like this:
+
+options aedsp16 io=0x220 irq=10 dma=3 mss_base=0x530
+
+Of course, you must write the 'options' for all other subsequent modules,
+opl3, ad1848, adlib_card, sb
+
+Then you must load the sound modules stack in this order:
+sound -> aedsp16 -> [ ad1848, opl3 ]
+
 Sound cards supported
 ---------------------
 This driver supports the SC-6000 and SC-6600 based Gallant's sound card.
