Re: Sound Blaster Live!

[longship@keyway.net]

Andrea,

Please don't waste your money on the SB Live.  This card is
on the list of cards without open source support because
Creative refuses to release the information necessary to
construct a driver.  Buying this card doesn't help our
case to get Creative to release the programming specs.

There are many, many other sound cards which will work
for you and will offer direct kernel or open source
module support.

Please go to these two sites for details:

Linux Midi + Sound Page
   http://www.xdt.com/ar/linux-snd/

ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture)
   http://www.alsa-project.org/

If you have already purchased this card, there is only
the Creative binary driver.  I have no idea whether it
works with Debian.  Maybe you can get your money back
if it doesn't.

Good luck.

Arne
