[linux-audio-user] SB Live?

There's no support for spdif on it, if you need that I'd reccomend the
audiophile or another ice1712 card, since you can use the envy24control
mixer with those cards to control the spdif in/out. You can use fluidsynth
to playback soundfonts from ram, and right now it actually covers more of
the complete sf2 spec (having support for realtime modulation
control) than the sblive hardware has (which doesn't support realtime
effects modulations). I approached teh swami soundfont editor's creator
about adding realtime control to effects modulations for sblive and found
out that its doesn't support it, so a person is better off going with
fluidsynth as you can also load as many soundfonts as your system's memory
can handle when you go that route.
