Creative just frustrates me more and more. I just think it would be better for Linux adoption rate as a whole if this card got some support. Would certainly be a big help regarding modern hardware. I don't know anything about reverse engineering hardware so I certainly ain't in the right to say "its just a sound card" if I don't know what the real task involves. At this point I don't think this chip will ever be supported. Depending on Creative is useless as we all know so far. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
