Why is it so important to load the firmware? Do they put in an extra light firmware at the factory, in order to keep shipping weights low? <gr> Or is it just that they are actually continuously working on it after product release? (which may be a good thing - unless a product is rushed out hastily and then requires fixes to make it work at all...) Chris BTW - I found a nice overview at http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/ , comparing lots of cards and their Linux driver situation. That list appears to be more honest than any hardware sales guy could ever be...
