Hi there. It's been a while i'm wondering if this soundcard is linux usable, especially the SPDIF facilities (since it's why my wife is interested in this card.) The open source drivers projects around creative products didn't convince me of wether this card do function or not under our prefered OS. On this archive i found some hope but i would thank a lot to hear "Yes boy you jusrt can relax plug your minidisc in and enjoy." sorry for the bad english and all and thanks for advices
