Well, I want sound! :)

Someone else sent me a trick to edit emu10k1.o, and change 2.2.10 to 2.2.11, so
that I don't have to force it.

If only Creative would release more drivers... It can't be that touch to
recompile the module for a new kernel...  It should be must make clean; make,
or not?

Has anybody gotton the Sblive to run under 2.3.x ?
