Is there any difference b/w the SB Live! driver available from
opensource.creative.com and the one that is already in the current 2.2.x
kernel ?

I mean, does it have more feature, better performance, better sound
'quality' ?

Is there any reason to choose over the other ?

Currently I am using the driver builtin to the kernel but am wondering
what I would gain by using the driver available from
opensource.creative.com.
