This driver is not tested and probably not used on any modern hardware
machine, because it is plugged into the ISA bus and not the PCI bus.
Also, the run script doesn't utilize this device anymore, making it more
hard to test this driver and to ensure it doesn't rot.
We have 3 new components:
1. The AudioManagement singleton. This class like in other subsystems,
is responsible to find hardware audio controllers and keep a reference
to them.
2. AudioController class - this class is the parent class for hardware
controllers like the Sound Blaster 16 or Intel 82801AA (AC97). For now,
this class has simple interface for getting and controlling sample rate
of audio channels, as well a write interface for specific audio channel
but not reading from it. One AudioController object might have multiple
AudioChannel "child" objects to hold with reference counting.
3. AudioChannel class - this is based on the CharacterDevice class, and
represents hardware PCM audio channel. It facilitates an ioctl interface
which should be consistent across all supported hardware currently.
It has a weak reference to a parent AudioController, and when trying to
write to a channel, it redirects the data to the parent AudioController.
Each audio channel device should be added into a new directory under the
/dev filesystem called "audio".
