Re: SB Live Linux drivers?? && Creative DVD??
I have a SoundBlaster Live! value as well. The drivers are compiled for
2.2.5, but I used 'insmod -f sblive.o' to force them to load, and they
loaded fine. Of course there is nothing to adjust Enviromental Audio,
etc, but better than nothing.
Creative is just terrible with drivers. The no source code doesn't
bother me too much, but if they would only support *all* their
hardware. I would love to get DVD's too work. I have managed to play
VCD's using the binary shareware player called mtv from mpegtv, but that
only plays audio for 60 seconds. Quality is good, has full-screen
capability, but you gotta pay.
I would LOVE to get DVD to work under Linux, if you no of anyway of
getting them to work, please let me KNOW!!

Experimental drivers would be fine by me, but it's getting stinky to have to boot windoze just to futz with my mp3s, and Creative is notoriously slow about updating their drivers (waited 6 months for the new EVA 2.0 for windoze, meanwhile 98 crashed even more than usual. *sarcasm* windoze crashing, nah, I must just have been hallucinating, that never happens, Microsoft makes the best, fastest software on earth, all that nice slim code, superior memory management, It's all that! *end sarcasm* Bill Gates should be shot.
