37.Cd "opl*  at cmpci? flags 1"
38.Cd "opl*  at eso?"
39.Cd "opl*  at ess?"
40.Cd "opl*  at fms?"

48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Nm
51driver provides support for the Yamaha OPL2 (YM3812) and OPL3
52(YMF262) chips.
53The chips are FM synthesizers and are capable
54of producing a wide range of sounds.
55.Pp
56Access to the device is through the MIDI driver.
57.Pp
58The
59.Nm
60driver usually attaches to a sound card, but it can also sit
61directly on the ISA bus.
62.Pp
63If
64.Dq flags 1
65is specified, the
66.Nm
67driver handles left and right channels of OPL3 swapped.
68Use this flag if your device has such problem.
