+        The macro takes an conditional expression to evaluate.
+	When <constant>CONFIG_SND_DEBUG</constant>, is set, the
+	expression is actually evaluated. If it's non-zero, it shows
+	the warning message such as
+	<computeroutput>BUG? (xxx)</computeroutput>
+	normally followed by stack trace.  It returns the evaluated
+	value.
+	When no <constant>CONFIG_SND_DEBUG</constant> is set, this
+	macro always returns zero.
