I made a debian package for the program emu-tools. emu-tools allows sound blaster live and sound blaster audigy users to control such aspects as digital output, ac3, surround sound, etc. the orginal source is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/emu10k1/ my packages are available at http://james.westcoastbmx.com/debs/emu-tools i would lke to see this included in debain, even if a developer takes the package and runs with it. thank you, James
