I've got a platinum5 and the drivers are really awesome -- they allow you to totally customize the routing, allowing your card to act as multiple sound cards.

Thanks :-)
Actually right now I am using the Alsa driver, but I would like to
switch to the creative driver. I tried it once before but did not have
much luck.
In order to use the creative driver ( follow their instructions) do I
need to get rid of the ALSA ( or OSS) drivers? It seems that xmms
depends on OSS driver.
If you could shed some light on this I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks again :-)
